عن قيم الإسلام في مقالة صحيفة الأمريكية

كان المؤلف مقالة - طارق رحيم - زميلي في جامعة, وكتب ما يالي:
What Is my Islam?

.."My Islam is about humility. It is an Islam that means submission to something greater than oneself, and forces the recognition of our smallness in the face of the wider world and beyond. It is about co-existence with all creation that surrounds us be they our compatriots or persons living in a distant land. It is about sustainable stewardship of the resources that God has endowed this world with.

I do not naively believe that what I see as Islam is the status quo in every Muslim country or family. Nor do I consider my vision as a monopoly on what is right, for true religion is about the ability of each follower to forge his or her own path. Yet, the next time someone remarks that Islam is irrational, violent, and hateful, know that there are countless millions whose
practice and beliefs of Islam prove otherwise."
