However, I have some suggestions pertaining to contextualization. This brings me to my second point: I like to offer some suggestions pertaining to the political contextual framework, which I think will strengthen your great piece. I prefer to discuss my suggestions with you in private, to avoid an unnecessary political discussion on a public list. </div><div>Please feel free to contact me at: abedrabboibrahim@gmail.com when you have time, if you feel interested in hearing my suggestions.</div><div>Regards,</div><div>Ibrahim</div><div><br></div><div><br><br><div dir="ltr">Sent from my iPhone</div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On Feb 12, 2023, at 10:21 AM, Kristopher Idrees Crawley via NFB-Muslims <nfb-muslims@nfbnet.org> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=us-ascii"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 15 (filtered medium)"><!--[if !mso]><style>v\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);}
