Islam and Muslims: At Times Like Two Ships Moored Side by Side at Port [Quote – 180]

Published By Categorised as Quote-Unquote, Quote-Unquote – Book II (101-200)

“For much of the time, Islam and Muslims are like two ships moored side by side at a port, or passing each other in the high seas. At times, there is an interface of sorts or, if I may spoof off an old expression, a close encounter of some kind between them, and that makes the world what it is.

I wonder what the world would be like if the two – Islam and Muslims that is – really intertwined and merged for any length of time.” (Dr. Pasha)
