Dr Taha
These are Dr, Taha's last words that he apparently dictated just a few days before he went to his Maker.

almadinainstitute.org


Dr. Taha was an astoundingly great man --- probably the greatest man I ever met and without question the greatest man who I ever broke bread with.

Dr Taha and C°
The real division in humanity is not between Muslims and Christian, religious or atheist, blue and red.

Some people consider that the way to live better, or at least survive is being united, cooperate, for the best of all and therefore admit our differences. (I'm convinced that "the people of goodwill" in the Gospel designs those people).
Others consider that the strongest, the best, will survive (whether superior individuals or superior groups of people for genetic, cultural or religious reasons)... for the best of humanity, the best of all. (BTW, it makes me think to Lenin who hanged the gypsies for their own good !)

Those 2 kinds of people, can be found in any country, any religion. They exist among the Palestinian, the Israeli, the American, the French, the Iranian. Selfishness (you do not call it so but it's the reality) against empathy and therefore solidarity.

There is the "universal soldier" www.youtube.com but there is hope for the universal peacemaker exist as well.

Thanks Mo to remember us this reality in a world where so many people have interest to divide us for they need universal soldiers, for obvious reasons.

You're welcome.

I knew Dr. Taha because my wife was his Assistant to the President at the University he founded in Chantilly, Virginia.

Amy was a devout Christian and Dr. Taha loved her just the same.

Everybody called him Dr Taha. His full name was difficult to remember and impossible to spell ---Alliwani Taha Jabar or something like that. You can look it up on the website I posted if it's important to ya.

Dr Taha's wife was a professor at the University and his son also was there in a lessor position. I never met Dr Taha's daughter(I didn't know he had a daughter until I read about it a cou8ple years ago when I discovered that Dr. Taha has gone to his Maker) --- she is apparently a Professor at a large USA University.

Just don't forget that there do exist those who would never accept your utopic ideal and only wish you to accept it in order to stab you in the back when you aren't looking.

This is the reality we live in and to ignore it will bring you peril.

I happen to agree that cooperation would be better, but I can't trust the other group to do so.

I live so very concretely, in my job, in the place where I leave

It works...
...at least for the moment   but it's been a couple of years now !
