“For certain American audiences, Rumi’s most popular poetry, will continue to exist as the stuff of Pinterest boards and inspirational quotes on Instagram—stripped, of course, of the Islamic teachings that acted as a foundation to his work.”

I think that this paragraph (which I take it as the main idea behind the whole…

LOL it’s all good! Some people really do get worked up when we cover silly stuff in the political arena, and I just have to wonder if people think we’re robots! Even in this craziness, there’s still some humor to be had.
