Thank you very nuch for this wonderful conversation with such a thoughtful and courageous person. It gives me and other readers a lot to think about. All the best.
This interview is heart-rending, mind-bending with its parallels to your family history. What a beautiful person is Friderica Wächter! The two of you comprise a beacon of hope for understanding between peoples, possibly even love...
I have a book which I will now re-read: "The Other Islam: Sufism and the Road to Global Harmony" by Stephen Schwartz.
Dear Ron, Thank you for reading. I was so glad that Friderica and I finally got down to doing this. We have been talking for years and felt that now was the right time to make parts of this conversation public. I am so happy that you feel the article has the effects you describe. These were exactly our intention. I adore Friderica's art and was so pleased when she agreed that we'd create a mini-gallery of it in this article. Sending love to you, Julie

Greetings from Portugal! My favorite book about Sufism is Mystical Dimensions of Islam. I am no expert, however. https://www.amazon.com/Mystical-Dimensions-Islam-Annemarie-Schimmel/dp/0807899763
