On becoming true friends.

I like living abroad. For months at a time. Which I do. With my Italian true love. In Sardinia. But I wouldn't mind living in a Muslim country. Though it might be dangerous. I'd find a way to adapt. For the sake of learning about another culture. Another way of life. I'd try to be a nice and courteous guest. Maybe I'd be uncomfortable. But that's all right. Knowing that eventually I would return to my own culture. But with a better understanding of Islam. And I'd invite Muslims to live with me. For a while. In Minnesota. To learn more about my culture. Maybe we could become true friends. --Jim Broede
