Buck, This is a noble idea, but could be potentially dangerous for those who are practicing TM over there. If the imams or an Islamist determines that TM is contrary to sharia law, someone could easily throw a stick of dynamite among those involved in group meditation. They've done these barbarous acts to Christian churches during their worship services in Afghan, Iraq and Pakistan. IMO, these acts show how the evil forces manifest in the world in the guise of religious fervor.
