This trip has been unreal. I am in Toronto, Ontario right now getting ready for a road trip to Montreal, Quebec. On my flight, I was the only non-Arab Muslim in the back of the plane and the man sitting right next to me is an Imam who debates at UCF. Abortion, stem cell research, science, politics, and Israel were all brought up in the first half hour. Each conversation ended awkwardly and I pulled out my copy of "Land Ownership in Palestine..." (which documents the absence of any Palestinians in current day Israel until the founding of the country) to end all other conversations on the matter. Then customs gives me shit about (pronounced "a-boat") not having a passport or birth certificate and I get threatened with detention. To top that off, my luggage gets left in Orlando, then sent to D.C., and then sent to Idaho, and is either on its way to Toronto, or Montreal, or Lebanon.
Besides the above, I have enjoyed this beautiful city and its marvelous citizens. Cya later eh.
