"“In this parable of debt and governance, dependence on the federal government was dangerous, while dependence on the bond market, credit appraisers, bankers, and fickle investors was virtuous. The story spoke to the ways in which advice could masquerade as ideology. Indeed, at the heart of technical advice about debt were moral arguments about governance, democracy, responsibility, and integrity.”" — Jan 29, 2026 07:45PM

“I will wait by the gate until I see your face. I have waited a decade, haven't I, in this limited life? Waiting in the endless one would be no sacrifice. And Inshallah one day, I know I will see you approaching. You will look just as you did at twenty, that year you first left us, and I will also be as I was in my youth. We will look like brothers on that day. We will walk together, as equals.”

“For his beloved grandson, out of his love for him, even the Prophet of Islam could pause the single most important requirement of faith, regardless of how many watched.”

“She could hold in her heart a belief in Islam as well as the unwavering belief that every human had the right to choose who they loved, and how, and that belief was in exact accordance with her faith: that it is the individual’s right to choose, and the individual’s duty to empathize with one another. Didn’t the Quran itself contain the verse, We have created you from many tribes, so that you may know one another.”
