One of the first things my oldest son learned to sing was "I'm being followed by a moon shadow." He pronounced it "shallow."

Sigh.


I really miss that little boy, and the times when I could think of Islam as a religion of peace and tolerance. I don't dismiss Islamic teachings, but it's recent history has shown what a mess religion can become when men take it upon themselves to speak for God without asking Him. It's like living in an ark because you think Noah was the last and greatest prophet.
