Living in a student dorm with people coming from different regions of the world, I am so tired of the fact that every single time I meet someone new the very first question is always "Where are you from?". Never my name, never what I am doing in my life, never whether I am fine, never my beliefs or anything else. I don't identify myself by the country I was born in, I identify by my name and by the many beliefs, ideas, passions, interests and experiences which I have. But no one seems to be interested into that anymore, everyone wants to know in which country you were born and whether you match the prejudices which they have about that particular country. The conversation usually continues by the people narrating then about their own country and how it is better than any other one, again, instead of talking about themselves as individuals. I can understand that people might act like this out of curiosity, but there are so many other things one can be curious about. It's so sad that despite living in a so called globalised world people are so strongly obsessed with the concept of countries and national identities.

World's first university can't be Al-Azhar university, it was Nalanda University in 5th Century AD. The faster religion and terrorism gets seperated, the sooner we will have Cosmopolitanism.

[@nickvaliani]

10 all the way

[@frizzleface4294]

She should give this speech in Iran.

[@MrAchawach]

The verse you mentioned has nothing to do with proliferating cosmopolitanism, but it talks of how allah which lives in domain of thing is merited to unite us with woman, thing on which our destiny is written...poor we humans!

[@Oneandonlyamirali]

YaAliMadad :) mubarakhi

[@dalirfarzan1694]

This woman would be stoned if she went to the Middle East. We do NOT think the same way that she does.

[@waleedpoolak3336]

Dalir Farzan No she wouldn’t I live in Jordan and we have a similar mindset.

[@social-mathematics]

I would suggest to her to go to Muslim Countries in order to inform them about her ideas.

[@saumyasingh5028]

And then she might not return home safely.

[@nimenemyers5160]

Could you also preach the cosmopolitan message to Muslims or Islamic nations who persecute people who get converted to other religions?

[@Graham6762]

I don't think she knows what E Pluribus Unum means. It basically means we are the chosen ones. It doesn't have to do with diversity, lol. Basically the opposite of what she said. Out of many comes One.

[@SamarMoushabeck]

"The traditionally understood meaning of the phrase was that out of many states (or colonies) emerges a single nation. However, in recent years its meaning has come to suggest that out of many peoples, races, religions, languages, and ancestries has emerged a single people and nation-illustrating the concept of the melting pot." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E_pluribus_unum

[@786merchant]

Wow, you may want to look it up. It indeed means "out of many, one".

[@Rabblerouser777]

E Pluribus Unum: Out of many one. Look it up.

[@Graham6762]

That is what I said.
