00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			On the trip in 2005, at the end
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:04
			of the trip, I had all the bags
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:05
			and bags of souvenirs.
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:06
			And I asked the young man who was
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08
			shopping with me, can you please find me
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:09
			a Quran in English?
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:11
			I didn't think one had been written.
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:13
			I mean, why would anybody translate a small
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:14
			Middle Eastern religion?
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:16
			Why would they bother translating it into English?
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:18
			So I didn't expect him to find one.
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:20
			So he goes, you know, Quran inglese, Quran
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:20
			inglese.
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:22
			And he comes back and he's got the
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:23
			Quran in English.
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:24
			And I'm like, okay, great.
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:25
			And then I look at it and it's
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:26
			like 600 pages.
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28
			I'm like, I'm never gonna read this.
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:30
			And then I remember I asked this young
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:33
			Shabab from Jerusalem, how much do I owe
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:33
			you?
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:34
			Cause he's been shopping with me.
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:35
			And then he does this.
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:38
			He goes, I forget it.
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:40
			You don't tell us anything.
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:40
			What?
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:42
			He said, the only thing I'm gonna ask
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:44
			you is don't forget Palestine.
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:45
			When you go, don't forget about us.
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:46
			Yeah.
