I’ve never thought much of religion which seems to manipulate by fear as much as by love. Fear, really, should have no position in faith, love must always take its place, as Cassavetes said “Fear is the basis for everything terrible. Fear is what causes all the horror in the world. No man achieves anything through fear.”

I have often wondered how Muslims dealt with men committing such crimes in their shared name. Abbas, spent seven years exploring the aftermath of 9/11 in the Islamic world, his pictures certainly tell a story.
