True, very true…reminds me of another quote from him:

“If reward is the goal of religion, if patriotism serves self-interest, and if education is pursued for advancement, then I would prefer to be a non-believer, a non-patriot, and a humbly ignorant man.”

have to agree with specs. these are the symptoms plaguing the muslim ummah generally, and pakistan particularly.

it’s funny how there are muslim countries in as diverse regions as eastern europe, the far east, south asia and africa yet all fit the same profile.

Humans are by nature, slaves to their ego. How else would any atrocity be justified in today’s context. And good writers/poets/philosphers know that.

Such a relevant piece.

Khalil Gibran didn’t know Pakistan. He knew Muslims. For sadly, this not only reflects us as a nation on the basis of geography; this represents the apathetic attitude we have as an Ummah.
