Assertion-- We Are Each Other's Business

In this essay Eboo Patel goes on explaining a story from when he was in high school, where a friend of his who was a Jew was getting made fun of a lot. He goes on to say that he did do anything to help his friend because back then he didn’t not want to be made fun of for help him. For his friends started to fear coming to school and felt that he was abandoned because his friends would not doing anything. Eboo Patel is a Muslim and believes in Pluralism and later when he is an adult he knows that he has to help stop thing like what happened to his friend in high school and quotes a port who says “We are each other’s business; we are each other’s harvest; we are each other’s magnitude and bond.” He says that in the Quran it says “I created you into diverse nations and tribes that you may come to know one another.” He later says that we live in a world where the forces that seek to divide us are very strong. With forces as strong as these getting to know the variety of people in this world becomes nearly impossible with out having some consequences within society and how people look at you. For things that happened to other people sooner or later become problems to everyone.
