In October... a scant three weeks after 9\/11, I created an Artwork for wide public distribution meant to help counter that hatred and intolerance.  My Drawing is a simple portrait of an Islamic Woman combined with the words: \"I AM NOT THE ENEMY.\" The Artwork has been circulated both as a Flyer and as a Poster at many L.A. community forums and Demonstrations (even appearing for a few brief moments on local TV \"news\" coverage of protests). <br><br> I hope that my Pencil Drawing challenges the viewer to remember that Moslems, Arabs, and people of Middle Eastern descent are not the enemy.
