death, i remembered back to this moment when i was sitting in my mosque in morgantown, west virginia, you know, the heartland of america and there was a man who was standing there, a professor of engineering and he had downloaded a sermon from saudi arabia that said that the west is on a dark path. and some months later, it was his son who then rammed his daughter's car because they disapproved of the boy that she was dating. and so, he had made that journey from their native egypt but had such a disconnect with the world around him and the pulpits of our faith, sadly, have not armed him with compassion and kindness and wisdom and that's where i believe we've failed in our community, because we don't give the parents, then, the time of compassion and wisdom that they can allow their children to make mistakes, to stumble on their own as they wish but, rather, they do carry this idea that the west is dark and that we cannot be a part of it. and to me, that's not islam, either. >> and you just -- i think we can all agree in a sense like this, an 18-year-old who maybe got married and then is going to l
