Something like a decade has gone by since last you and I had contact, and somewhere in the interim someone sent me an article that you&#8217;d been murdered.

This evening, I&#8217;ve been reading on the internet about the five pillars of Islam.  Interesting stuff.  And properly translated to our culture, it would make for a good system of self discipline and cultural awareness.
