Ambi: transitions to pouring rain and faded chanting to a quite indoor setting, fade down as track begins
Track: I’m here with Mohammed Asaad Raza Saifi, coordinator of the Sufi Peace Forum and the Raza Foundation, inside his Brooklyn apartment sitting warm and comfortably scrolling through the pictures on his phone of the rally.
Act: Mohammed: It’s an opportunity to have like-minded people together for the cause of greater good for society, for the world and for humanity.
Track: He states that standing in front of the United Nations was a unique experience.
Act: Mohammed: people like to call it the headquarters for the world. So it’s a very symbolic place where people for decades have been protesting and voicing their concerns and their issues for various reasons.
Track: he is now describing the heavy rain that occurred during the rally.
Act: Mohammed: The thing is that with the rain it actually it created a very I could say a very symbolic atmosphere. …so I mean for us what is rain going to do? Rain is not a bit of harm to us compared to the things those people are going through. So it also in a way it’s kind of a kind of our sympathies with them to show that we’re willing to do the most we can for them.
Track: Mohammad talks about the importance of having youth involvement.
Act: Mohammed: the youth is the future and especially in this day of age in this day of internet, social media, all these various outlets where info and data and information is so you know, it’s pretty much at your fingertips…how they say, you know, the new overcomes the old so as the younger generations come by and start to understand this cause it will obviously have a more steadier and heavier impact on causes as to for example in Kashmir issue also any causes that are similar to it.
Track: Mohammed will continue to look forward in the future for other events to attend to assist with humanitarian work of those living in oppressed circumstances. For Baruch College, I’m Madina Amber
