Salaam alaykum everyone from California. My name is Steven Pearce and I am a Muslim writer and part-time imam. I also do Da'wa and giv lectures about Islam around the globe. I am the founder of Contemporary Muslim, an organization meant to do Da'wa to show that Islam is for any time and any place while at the same time speaking out against Extremism and Islamophobia. I am very happy to be in this forum and I hope to make new friends insha'Allaah.
