He is a former co-host of Interfaith Talk Radio and travels nationally and internationally, presenting at retreats and workshops. Jamal's passion lies in interfaith community building. He remains rooted in his Islamic tradition and cultivates a "spaciousness" by being open to the beauty and wisdom of other faiths. Through an authentic and appreciative understanding of other paths, Jamal feels that he becomes a better Muslim and a more developed human being. This spaciousness is not about conversion, but about completion. Jamal is also an author of several books. Since 9/11 he has been collaborating with Rabbi Ted Falcon and Pastor Don Mackenzie. Affectionately known as the Interfaith Amigos, they tour the country sharing the message of spiritual inclusivity.
