To: Ms. Farah Pandith, US Special Representative for Muslim
Communities
In the name of the only Creator!
Please accept our congratulations on the occasion of your
appointment to a new position in the U.S. Presidential
Administration, and our prayers for the Almighty's luck to be
bestowed upon you.
It is a reality that events of global scale significantly depend on
the U.S. position and its approach. Everyone is awaiting wise
decisions and fair steps from the new U.S. Administration. From this
point of view, as a Muslim religious leader I am glad you are being
appointed to such a responsible position. After having met you while
you were on a visit to Azerbaijan, I have grounds on which to
express my opinion on your outlook and deep knowledge.
I firmly believe that your activities will set new relations of
higher quality, reciprocal understanding, and trust between the U.S.
and the Islamic world, and - Inshallah - will serve for the benefit
of bringing more attentive consideration of a number of important
realities.
May the Almighty be always with you!
I look forward to seeing you in the future.
Sheikhulislam
Allahshukur PASHAZADE
Head of the Caucasus Muslim Board.
