religious discussion

Hi Everyone,
This week you read two short passages by two very famous Muslims – Malcolm X and Seyyed Hossein Nasr. For your discussion board, I would like you to choose one these readings and discuss your thoughts and reaction to it. In your response you can respond to any of the following questions:
why did you choose this particular reading? what interested you about it?
did you find the reading beautiful? or disturbing?
what did you learn about Islam from this reading?
is there something about the reading that confused you or that you would like to know more about?
Was there an idea or opinion in the reading that you strongly agreed or disagreed with? Why do you agree/disagree with it?
Your response must be at least 450 words and include two direct quotations from the reading (along with the page numbers for the quotes).
