Framing the issue - Do Business and Islam Mix?

I came across this great article that really reflected Edina Lekovich's advice about framing your issuse for the media. The story is from the New York Times and profiles the Aga Khan and his philanthropy with the greater issue of his religion guiding his actions. It's a really well done, humanizing story of a prominent Muslim figure. The way the pieces ends just leaves such a wonderful, lasting impession of Aga Khan and his faith.

“In Afghanistan, the Aga Khan is creating an enabling environment for business,” says Mr. Patel at the World Bank. “While producing results, these are early days. It’s too soon to see a payoff from his investments.”
That does not bother the Aga Khan. Building businesses, he says, “is part of the ethics of the faith.”

Enjoy the articles and I want to see feedback and criticisms about it on the blog!
