Farah to speak on
Middle East myths

Across the nation, people who want to know the truth behind the Middle East conflicts and terrorism are finding it from WorldNetDaily editor and founder Joseph Farah.

"Every month I field dozens of speaking requests for Mr. Farah," says Rebecca Hagelin, WorldNetDaily's vice president of communications. “In all my years of public relations, I've never seen anything like it.”

Hagelin notes that WND does no advertising, and yet she continues to be inundated with requests.

Farah’s courageous stand as an Arab- American journalist to uncover the myths of the Middle East has caused a stir and generated a desire from people worldwide for more, Hagelin says.

Since Farah is both editor and CEO of the company, WorldNetDaily bears a tremendous cost for him to be away from the office, so he accepts very few invitations. But over the next few months he will be busier than normal.

“With the current war on terrorism he understands that the true causes of terrorism in general, and the reason behind the attacks on Israel and the U.S. in particular, must be heard," says Hagelin.

On Feb. 10, Farah will be in Winnipeg, Canada, to participate in The Asper Foundation Performances lecture series. The Asper Foundation was established in 1983 and has a long history of developing and supporting human rights issues in Canada and around the world. Among its many programs is the Holocaust and Human Rights Studies Program for high school students – now a national program that includes students from all denominations.

The foundation's lecture series features authoritative and respected presenters from around the world addressing substantive, relevant national and international issues.

"As a respected journalist, writer and speaker, Mr. Farah will be a welcome addition to the slate of prestigious speakers who have participated in our program," says Jeff Morry, Asper's senior program manager.

Farah's topic is "The View from Here: An Arab-American on the State of the Middle East.”

“As a Christian and Arab-American, Farah brings a welcome and fresh perspective to a topic that is all too often dominated by myths, ignorance and misconceptions," says Morry. For more information, contact Jeff Morry by e-mail or call (204) 989-5539.

Feb. 19 finds Farah in Nashville, Tenn., at the 21st International Christian Prayer Breakfast.

Farah joins Israel's Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and a distinguished panel of Middle East experts and religious leaders of many faiths who will address an audience expected to number in the thousands at the famous Opryland Hotel.

The prayer breakfast has become the largest annual gathering of Christian and Jewish leaders in America. In addition to Sharon and Farah, this year's event features Ben Armstrong, Irvin Botowsky, columnist Don Feder, John Hagee and Pat Boone. Special honored guests include area holocaust survivors and their families. The event is sponsored by The Religious Roundtable, (901) 685-6542, and is organized by one of the world's leading experts in Israeli-American relations, Ed McAteer.

Farah's next stop is Cherry Hill, N.J., on Feb. 24 for an evening lecture sponsored by The Politz Day School and the Jewish Community Relations Council. Farah's topic is "An Arab-American Journalist's Expose of Arab and Islamic Extremism and the Middle East Crisis."

The Politz Day School recently was recognized as a model of educational excellence by Partnership for Excellence in Jewish Education, one of only four schools nationwide to receive the honor. Alice Green, head of school at Politz, has dedicated this year of learning in honor of her niece, a victim of the suicide bombing at the Sbarro restaurant in Jerusalem last August, who remains in a comma.

"We have invited Mr. Farah to our community because of his strong commitment to speak the truth concerning issues of the Middle East,” Green said. “Mr. Farah is a friend of the state of Israel and it's important for our students and the entire community to hear his unique contribution." For more information, contact Debbie Boyer at (856) 667-1630.

Sunny Puerto Rico welcomes Farah as a guest speaker on March 7. Farah will address a special meeting of the Jewish Community Center of Puerto Rico and discuss his series on “The Myths of the Middle East” and related issues. More about this very special event in Puerto Rico is coming soon from WorldNetDaily.

It's back up north for Farah to Appleton, Wisc., for the Calvary Chapel Pastor's Conference March 14-16. The conference is designed to "inspire and refresh pastors from the Upper Midwest with great teaching." According to organizers, Farah was invited because of his "great insight into the events that are transpiring these days."

On April 22, Farah will visit the Conejo Jewish Academy in Agoura Hills, Calif. The Academy is well known on the West Coast for its series of lectures throughout the year on subjects of Judaic interest and current events. An educational institute offering opportunities for adults to enhance their knowledge and awareness of Judaism and the Jewish heritage, the academy attracts thousands of participants from diverse backgrounds and affiliations, including radio talk show hosts Laura Schlessinger and Dennis Prager.

"Mr. Farah is driven and guided by one principle," said Rabbi Bryski, the founder and executive director of the academy, "the principle of truth."

"It is this search and pursuit of truth that has made Mr. Farah one of today's most outspoken and courageous friends of Israel," Bryski said.

Farah's topic for the evening is "Myths of the Middle East: An Arab American Journalist Speaks Out." For further information on the academy or the event, visit the school's website or call (818) 991-0991.
