One of the most wonderful books of the poet and writer Muhammad Al-Maghout.
I will have a child whom I will name Adam.. because names in our time are accusations.. I will not name him Muhammad or Isa.. I will not name him Ali or Omar.. I will not name him Saddam or Hussein.. not even Zakariya or Ibrahim.. not even David and No, George.. I am afraid that he will grow up a racist and that his name will have a share.. For foreigners, he will be a terrorist.. For extremists, he will be a prostitute.. For Shiites, he will be Sunni.. For Sunnis, he will be Alawite or Shiite.. I fear that his name will be his passport..
I want him to be Adam, a Muslim, a Christian.. I want him to know that religion is only for God.. and I want him to know that the homeland is for everyone.. I will teach him that religion is what is settled in his heart, his sincerity and his work, and not his name...
I will teach him that Arabism is an illusion.. and that humanity is the most important.. I will teach him that hunger is infidel, ignorance is infidel, and injustice is infidel....
I will teach him that God is in the hearts before the mosques and churches...
And that God is love and not fear.. I will teach him what our people forgot to teach us.. I will teach him that what we lack is what we have.. and that what we have is what we lack.. I will teach him that I started my conversation that I will have a male child.. because the female still conceives.. and that the imbalance Remain in the (Arab society) .. forever
