"Across much of the Islamic world, many Muslims are disillusioned with the ugly things done in the name of their religion. Islam, at its core, has many virtues to inspire humanity — such as compassion, humility, honesty and charity. But they have been eclipsed for far too long for the sake of power and the dictates of bigotry." (Mustafa Akyol, NY Times Opinion, Dec. 23, 2019)
