[A brief conversation on Facebook]
Friend: i am one of ur biggest fans ,
my name is xxxxx i'm an egyptian muslim girl ,
and i just wanted to know that i'm so proud
to have met someone like u during my visit to
america :)

sl: Hello sister! What an extremely kind note.
Thank you. But I must correct you. You say -
"i'm an egyptian muslim girl...." But you also
say - "i am one of ur biggest fans," and "i'm
so proud to have met someone like u during
my visit to america :)." Well, if these last two
statements are True, and I DO believe you,
then - like me, you are a HUMAN, that happens
to be Muslim and Egyptian. :-) IF I AM WORTHY
OF YOUR PRAISE, it is because I too am HUMAN,
1ST AND ABOVE ALL ELSE, and happen to have
been born in America and into the "Christian" faith.
Your brother forever, no matter what, sl

Friend: :D:D i knew that would be ur reply :D:D
and i rsepect u so much for this way of thinking ,
for these principles of tolerence , mercy and
equality that we lack in our world these days :)
may ur message reach the whole world , and may
everyone be touched by it , and may i humbly be
able to be one of those who can deliver it to
other fellow humans :):)
