The disjointed ramblings of a soul seeking clarity.
أنا مسلم أمريكي من أصل إرلندي.أدرس الفلسفة ولي فضول عن العالم. نظري إلى الحياة على أساس التقدُّم وحقوق الإنسان والإنصاف للنساء وللعمّال.أومن أنّ الناس المتحد لن ينهزموا =======I am intensely curious about the world around me and am convinced that, to paraphrase Marx, it is not enough to understand the world; the point is to change it. I want to create a world where the suffering of all sentient beings is minimized and all people have access to meaningful work, healthcare, and education. I believe that this can only be achieved through a radical redistribution of resources whereby economic, political, and social capital is put work satisfying human need instead of pandering to inhuman greed.

Very soon after I converted to Islam I met Imam Bashar 'Arafat. He is an incredibly spiritual person and has an aura of peace about him that I've never sensed in any other person. He taught me that the essence of Islam is to have a heart that is present with the creator and to act towards the creation in the best possible way. This thought still inspires me.

Hullo Luc--it is good to see you back nd posting to your 'blog. And thanks for posting pictures of your trip to Pakistan--I love the architectural detail of Islamic buildings.
I wish you would post more on your current life--what you are doing, where you are working, what you are studying. Suppose that makes me shallow, though, because I know that what you post is important to you.
Take care,
DJ
