Brilliantly compiled Mr.Daniel

I am a 21 year old Muslim and have spent around all 21 years in Saudi Arabia and Pakistan back and forth. I have never seen such a brilliantly compiled piece on what I confirm as the truth. Nonetheless, I would want to make it clear and state that not all people in all Muslim naitons are such. But more importantly, this is not what Islam is. The Islam that many countries follow has been either made too difficult or just completely irratoinal. When a hundred people preach onto another hundred preachers each then the true message is lost. I have seen and experienced a lot during my time in Saudi Arabia and Pakistan and even read many of these extracts before but this happens not only because of a mutilated understanding and ruthless enforcing of a once-sacred religion but also since the westernization of media has led for such disgusting habits and desires to dwell into human curiousity. I am not saying its any one person's fault. We are humans. We were bound to end up in such a place where things revolve around the wrong things for the most absurd reasons. I hope as i wish you do and pray with the purest intentions for all of us to find peace within our minds and souls. And once again... Thank you Mr.Daniel for such a tremendous effort on compiling such a vast and intricate collection of stories.
