I think that's what makes the religion of Islam such a phenomenon for people.
That with all the Islamophobia and the bigotry towards it, still the fastest growing religion in the United States and the fastest growing religion in the world.
And no, that's not all birth rate.
Yeah, we have a lot of kids, but many people, you know, you met someone just before we started this interview.
Many people, in fact, in a post 9-11 world saw what they saw of Islam in the media.
And they actually, you know, went and checked out copies of the Quran and started to read about the religion and their sincere pursuit of truth.
ended up embracing a religion that they believed was the greatest source of destruction in the world.
And now it's the greatest source of peace for them in their own existence, in their own lives.
And so you have to be willing to engage in a sincere pursuit of wanting to know
and then be willing to engage in sincere commitment after you know, otherwise the heart rusts.
And so there's a process in the Quran talks about this of making the heart like fertile soil towards truth.
So you have a sincere pursuit, but then at some point, if you come to know, and then you ignore what you come to know, then the heart rusts and it becomes harder to recognize it the second time around and the third time around.
When people come to me and they say, you know, I'm looking for something.
I'm looking for God.
I'm looking for my purpose.
The first thing I tell them is I say, listen.
What you need to do is, if you're really looking for God and you believe in God, and there are often people that say, I believe in God, but I don't know where to go with this.
I know that there's something greater.
In Islam, we call that the fitrah, a natural disposition towards the belief in the existence of God.
But where do I go from here?
