Blessed Ramon Llull (1235-1315), Missionary to the Muslims and Martyr
"Death has no terrors for a sincere servant of Christ who is laboring to bring souls to a knowledge of the truth."
Can you figure out why this guy is my hero? I mean, he combines the best elements of catholic Christianity, evangelical zeal, and a missio-centric spirituality focused on the unreached--especially Muslims. What more could you want? Oh yeah: he was a married man and lay missionary.
(Abu Daoud is listening to The Division Bell by Pink Floyd. Have you all heard this album? I really like it, what do you think?)

Their 1977 album Animals is their best work. The guitar solo in the song "Dogs" is sorrow itself and never fails to break my heart.
I have Animals and I don't actually much like it. I do like Wish you were here, which is also early I think.
