My compassion

Dear Amit ,

I feel very sorry for what you had to experience in Saudi Arabia, this heart of darkness! Your short personal account of what you saw is more valuable than many an abstract article one often comes across on Islam's perfectibility or imaginary virtues. Dr. Pipes has recently written that Islam is what Muslims make of it. When one reads a story like yours one feels it is the other way around. Muslims are what Islamism has made of them - religious sadists.

Thank you again for your moving story !
