Peace

“I hope to show not only the contributions of an old and rich civilization. I hope to show, as Caliph al-Mamun concluded, that reason and faith can be the same, that by fully opening the mind and unleashing human creativity, many wonders -including peace- are possible.”

Michael Hamilton Morgan, in “Lost History: The Enduring Legacy of Muslim Scientists, Thinkers, and Artists”, National Geographic Society, Washington D.C., June 2007, p.XV
