This quote is by Hazrat Inayat Khan; a sufi poet, musician, and writer. More reading: [link]. This quote is taken from one of his books called "Vadan" ([link]). Speaking about sufism, it is a pity that deviantart has no group devoted to it.

I understand that not all people will agree with the quote written here. However, I will display this picture anyway, because I think it is important for everybody to comprehend this. ESPECIALLY for fundamentalist. For everyone who disagree: please, civilized discussion :D

P.S: If you post my picture in your blog, or somewhere else, or use it as a stock, please comment and leave the link. It is not like you will go to jail if you don't do it; I just like to see what other people do with my picture. Thanx :D

This is not completely correct, but it at least allows for a proper coexistence.

in my opinion, this is correct

This is alright with faith-based beliefs, but I'm a pragmatic person and wary if someone tries to apply the same principle as an argument against problem solving subjects.
