East: You, West, believe you are the cradle of civilization,
but you are the boiling pot of all sin.

West: You barbarians behind in your ways,
you are the boiling pot of terrorism.

East: We are the best of people
already advanced in culture and science
when you were but a baby on horses
chasing Indians.
West: But we ran ahead and now you are behind.
East: You advanced in immorality; we will take your technology.
West: We abhor your ways, wait and see.
East: You are the spreading poison of sin, spawn of the Shaytan.
Jesus: Didn’t your Prophet provide you with protection?
Muhammad: My brother speaks truly, didn’t We teach you how to protect yourselves (spiritually)?
Jesus: The world is an alluring addiction, isn’t it?
Muhammad: You must find God again in the secret places.
Jesus: My people have returned to their idols.
Muhammad: Indeed, my community has turned the Kaaba into a den of thieves.
God: When the light of Truth arises from the West and moves to the East, you will understand.

It is suffering that shoots streams of creativity out of my heart, and the brokenness of life that explodes my heart into its soul.
