Ramadan and the Story of Ibraheem

As you may know, Muslims around the world are preparing to observe Ramadan, a month of fasting and religious reflection.

And it comes at a difficult time.

What with the horror in Gaza.

And the rise of anti-Muslim bigotry everywhere including Canada, where scuzzy hate mongers like Ezra Levant make a living peddling hatred against them.

So to try to counter that blind hatred I thought I'd bring you a humble little story about a young Muslim teenager.

What We Can Learn From the Ruined Cities of the World

I've always been interested in ruined cities, from those buried in the sands of Egypt to those like this one in the jungles of Belize.

For beyond the thrill of exploring them, I'm fascinated by what they tell us about the follies of humanity.

And what we can learn from them, at a time when the very survival of the planet is threatened.

Especially the lesson that when we challenge nature, we can only LOSE.
