I'm Seeking To Make Sense Of Life, Looking For Its Meaning And How We Can Have A Better Humanity.

In The Holy City Of Mecca, Violence Of Any Kind Was Forbidden. From The Moment They Left Home, Pilgrims Were Not Permitted To Carry Weapons, To Swat An Insect Or Speak An Angry Word, A Discipline That Introduced Them To A New Way Of Living.

For Centuries, The Muslims Were Able To Co-exist Perfectly Well With Jews And Christians In The Middle East.

After I Left The Convent, For 15 Years I Was Worn Out With Religion, I Wanted Nothing Whatever To Do With It. I Felt Disgusted With It. If I Saw Someone Reading A Religious Book On A Train, I'd Think, How Awful.
