Einstein says insanity is doing the same thing twice and expecting different results. I think its the over-reaction my press release is getting while I strive hard to get attention for alternative dispute resolution and the Borama Fistula Hospital. I was within three days on CBC, the John Oakley show, National Post, cover of 24 hours.
I just had an interview, where a couple of the callers were so touching, saying that I made them are proud to be Canadian!!!
Last interview, they said I had a Westernized view of Islam. Well, of course, since Canada is my home. If I lived in Saudi Arabia all my life, I may have had different views.
There are many Western Muslims and Sufis. They are both Westerners and Muslims. They are not Muslim Alien Invaders from Outer Space that William Smith neutralizes with sunglasses and a special laser-gun.
I don't think a Canadian should apologize for being Muslim or Hindu. I don't think a Muslim or Hindu should apologize for being Canadian. They are one and the same. This is truely a Sufi country.
An Arab poet wrote: I don't know any religion or colour, but I know you are my brother, brother in humanity.
We are just human beings. Tolstoy said all we have in common is each other.
