Interview with the “Average Mohamed” real name “Mohamed Amin Ahmed”

Mark: Not only America but countries in Europe and in most places around the world we have all felt the wrath of The Taliban and their bloodthirsty and horrific murders done in the name of “Islam”.

My special guest today is “A Worthy Gentleman”, a Semolina immigrant living in Minnesota.

He is married and has four children.  He has owned businesses and is now a Manager for a local gas Company.

Mohammed has a diverse background that includes supporting the Primary election of a Muslim woman running for Congress. He has also had a speaking engagement at the national conference for Global Ties US in Washington, DC.   Today he was speaking to students at Alta Vista High School in South Tucson.  Your website is www.averagemohamed.com which he uses to dissuade youth from joining the Taliban by showing them, in cartoon form, what really happens when someone joins the Taliban or other similar organizations. Apparently, the site went viral and has had a huge impact.

Mohamed immigrated to the States 20 years ago and has been in both Civic and Corporate Worlds. He understands completely what Terrorism does to world business.  At the onset of the 911 Crisis, he joined “The Free Muslim Coalition Against Terrorism” and is still the Chapter President for Minnesota.

Mohamed’s Counter Terrorism Mantra is “It takes an Idea, to defeat an idea”, which is the Mantra of the organization that passionately promotes ideas of “Counter Terrorism” through the use of popular culture…and that’s how “Average Mohamed was born.

In view of the fact that these radical Muslims kill people who in the past have created messages through cartoons, ‘Average Mohamed’ stories are portrayed in cartoon format all over the web and in particular YouTube. In a Nutshell, www.averagemohamed.com was created to talk plainly to humanity – to all.

Issues of race, religion, and “fitting in” affect all of us, especially our youth, so Mohamed’s thought – it’s time we talk about them. The solution to so many of these issues is simple: dialogue. All-too-often, silence leads to misunderstanding and extreme views.

Mohamed waited for a straightforward, logical program that would help youth to understand their unique contribution to society, and appreciate others with different ethnicities, races, and belief systems. Apparently while waiting, and waiting, and waiting, it dawned on him that an average guy can spark these dialogues. If it is an average guy who espouses hate, intolerance, and extremism, all of us average folks need to speak up and challenge this narrative. A fairly logical perspective to the topic!

Mohamed says, “our goal is to give average parents, kids and clergy talking points to counter falsehood propagated by extremists, racists and others who promote intolerance. We hope to share love of country, culture, and democracy with children across the world.”

The organization that brought Mohammed to Tucson is the Southern Arizona Council for International Visitors, under the leadership of the Executive Director for SAZCIV, Pat Watson. SAZCIV is a non -profit that brings quality speakers on relevant subject matter to the community every two months  The Core purpose for SAZCIV is the International Visitor Leadership Program which emanates from the Education and Cultural Affairs Division of the Department of State.

Karreen’s journey to spiritual awareness began as a little girl. Karreen could hear (clairaudient) and feel (empath) the subtle energies of the trees, animals, rocks, individuals and spirit guides.   

Apparently her skills enhanced after the death of your first brother in 1999 and the death of your second brother in 2004. How did they pass Kareen?  

The communicating with deceased family members and not understanding what was going on, led Karreen on a spiritual journey of discovery. Tarot the Pendulum and Spiritual Response Therapy were intuitive tools Karreen used to reach and connect on a higher vibrational spiritual realm. What do you mean by “Intuitive Tools” 

Karreen’s subconscious mind already has the answers you are seeking. Making a connection via Tarot or Spiritual Response Therapy can answer your questions, concerns and provide internal clarity on the mental, emotional, physical, spiritual and holistic levels). 

How can a person benefit from an SRT session? 

First of all, SRT is a form of spiritual healing on a mental, emotional, physical, conscious and subconscious levels. We all experience challenges in our lives and at times, we may feel we keep experiencing the same or similar situations over and over, but not with the same individuals.  

This is because we come into this lifetime to advance, learn and grow. Often, we are unaware of patterns we keep reliving and recreating that keep us stuck, unhappy or emotionally unavailable. These patterns of disharmony can be identified and cleared through an SRT session, allowing you to move forward in life, to create a happier, healthier, life filled with love, happiness, and tranquility.  

SRT is a powerful form of spiritual healing? Everything happens in our lives for a spiritual purpose. Identifying and clearing these blocks can allow transformation on many levels, allowing life to move forward, resentments alleviated, anger issues reduced and hurtful memories forgiven. Love is the key and forgiveness is the answer). 

Through our (Akashic) soul records, (subconscious mind) we have the means to acknowledge, understand and let go of the programs and belief systems we no longer need or believe. By clearing such master soul programs or records, we can re-create a life we so deeply desire. You see Spiritual Response Therapy: (SRT) is a system used to find, identify and remove program blocks, belief systems and imbalances within the conscious, subconscious mind, keeping us from being and living a life filled with joy, happiness, and success. 

Every Soul has a specific journey on this earth. Through our (Akashic) soul records, (subconscious mind) we have the means to acknowledge, understand and let go of the programs and belief systems we no longer need or believe. By clearing such master soul programs or records, we can re-create a life we so deeply desire. 

What is Ancestral Download Karreen? This is all possible and so much more… Acknowledging, identifying and releasing these patterns, habits, beliefs, perceptions, and judgments from our Akashic records has the ability to transform our lives.  

What if I told you together, we can clear them and you could be free of these self-limiting behaviors or challenges?  

I would think it would be amazing Karreen there are so many people trapped in conditions they no longer want to be in right? 

The Pendulum, L-Rods, Hearing, Seeing, Channeling:  making a connection with one’s high self-committees, angels and guides, in order to obtain information from the spiritual realms. Identifying information, programs, blocks, beliefs, patterns, habits and disharmonies either downloaded from our ancestors or life lessons, can be cleared, removed and released in order to create harmony and balance in your current life path and purpose
