That was beautifully expressed by Hipster. I could feel the agony she and so many others must be struggling under these days. I feel really sad whenever I hear commenters, whom I otherwise admire and agree with, express the opinion that Islam is a fatally flawed religion. Being a Christian/secularist/humanist type myself, I feel uncomfortable around all extremism - but I know that people like you and Hipster are gentle, reasonable folks and so Islam can’t be all bad. True?
BTW, that food looked wonderful. Happy Ramadan.

"Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call to her tribunal every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a god; because, if there be one, he must approve the homage of reason rather than of blind-folded fear."
