He wanted him to learn Farsi but felt the only language programs were led by radical Muslims and did not want him exposed to this element. I naively said something along the lines of - maybe they arent so bad it might be worth it if he got to learn Farsi. He kind of stared at me and said that I just didnt understand, that I had no idea of the extremeness of the beliefs he was referring to. I agreed at the time I had no idea what he was talking about. After 911, I figured it out. I'm glad to know he decided to teach the boy Farsi himself. It must be very sad to be a moderate Muslim in todays world.Lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13431167033060907831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14500150.post-1140155137330155062006-02-16T23:45:00.000-06:002006-02-16T23:45:00.000-06:00Have you read Sam Harris' "The End of Faith"? He writes about how religious beliefs have become the most dangerous idea to humanity.Timhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09660007226263098889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14500150.post-1140143114878944792006-02-16T20:25:00.000-06:002006-02-16T20:25:00.000-06:00I wonder how Muslim men would feel if their wives or daughters were groped in public in America.TravelingMermaidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08616443915730559621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14500150.post-1140120664287871112006-02-16T14:11:00.000-06:002006-02-16T14:11:00.000-06:00Interesting story.
