        "A Muslim can be like that,too” Not really. I like Rumi bcs he was beyond narrow clutches of religion, he may have religion as context but he was far enlightened to rise above it. Plz don't undermine him to co-opt into religion. Munchausen by proxy western fluffs hunt for victims

        if Rumi was alive today (and not constrained by overwhelming presence of religion as also understanding gained through the centuries) would have strongly condemned religion that seeks to confine people/segregate/control and mess their minds with miracles that contradicts reality

        Simply, because he was a universalist. Religious organizations don't thrive when they don't have enemies.

        Gotcha (bad concept, but this important): "prescribed" wd be correct “Rumi was born into a religious family and followed the proscribed rules of daily prayer and fasting throughout his entire life,” Gooch writes. Were I a New Yorker fact checker, wd [sic]; if Gooch ed: shamed.

        Writer is mistaken, the word iman is not religion and kufr is not infidelity. More appropriately it is believe and disbelieve (of the Truth). Let’s correct this. “Out beyond ideas of believing and disbelieving, there is a field. I will meet you there”

        It’s better not knowing that is or might be religious. I generally would distrust something from a religious author.
