الما عنده محبة.....ما عنده الحبة

Quote: Braving snow flurries and 31-degree weather, more than 800 people crammed the Baker University Center Ballroom Sunday to hear esteemed writer, speaker and scholar Cornel West. West’s speech was the keynote address of a two-day conference celebrating the 100th birthday of Mahmoud Mohamed Taha, a Sudanese Muslim regarded as the founder of progressive Islam. Addressing a standing-room-only crowd, West lectured on “the universality of the human family,” imploring listeners to adopt Taha’s traits of humility and love. “Anyone who lives a life and never sheds a tear has never really loved. And anyone who has never really loved has never really lived,” West said, adding, “When you love people you can’t stand the fact of them being unjustly treated.”
