The Battle Between Modernity and Barbarism

I’ve been debating whether to post about this for 20 minutes. I’ve finally said yes. Why? Because this does speak to my passion: seeing others succeed.

A Syrian-American psychiatrist, Dr. Wafa Sultan, has ignited the world with her thoughts about her former religion of Islam:

belongs to the 21st century. It is a clash between civilization and
backwardness, between the civilized and the primitive, between
barbarity and rationality.”

Then, live your life like it matters. Because it does.
