: I am just wondering if the current administration will "believe" the
: "politically correct" use of henna as a traditional medium for
: hindus, muslims, and jews.

Fortunately, a forum person sent me the document numbers of a
congressional resolution to respect the beliefs and practices of
Muslims, and others have sent me a couple dozen verifications now of
the crucial importance of henna in the traditions of Islam. It
doesn't matter whether or not they believe it. I can prove it, and I
can state that in many other suits ethnic minorities have won the
right to use the tools deemed important to them in the practice of
their own beliefs.

Now .... can someone find me the contacts for the EEOC, and the
Comission on Civil Rights that would be useful to contact regarding
this: IE that any refusal by the FDA to permit lawful import of 100%
pure henna (which the FDA STILL considers exempt from certification
requirements) constitutes an infringement on first ammendment rights.

One wonderful person sent me contacts for a few congressmen who have
fought for the rights of Native Americans in this regard....

More please?
And, who does the lobbying for Islamic interests in the USA? Hindu?
B'Hai?

Thank you so much for your help so far!

Any importers and exporters of henna who have more information,
especially about recent seizures, delays, harassments, PLEASE contact
me!
