Jalal ud-Din Rumi, born in the year 1207 and America’s favorite poet since 2007, will be our guide during this service. He will show us how to cope when people misunderstand and misrepresent what we say or write. We will also contemplate the outrage sparked by three books that appeared in the years 610, 1989, and 2019: the Qur’an, The Satanic Verses, and The Gadfly Papers.
