Bravo Farris! As someone who walked the streets of muslim cities from Rabat to Aqaba, Alexandria to Bandar Abbas, Jeddah to Karachi, I applaud your courage to see for yourself. This kid may be naive and even crazy for trying somethng like this, but he certainly has sand. He went there in the open, on his own. Not like some thief in the night, unannounced and undercover, like members of this administration have done. Give the kid credit for that. His experience just goes to show that God watches out for cripples, drunks and children. If I was his teacher, I would give him an A+ for his extra credit work. He learned more about Islam and the Arab world in that little jaunt than 10 years in the classroom would teach him. So keep on keepin' on Farris. It's kids like you that may just pull this iron out of the fire if it doesn't kill you first. Once again, Bravo Zulu, Whiskey Delta and good on you for having the cojones to try this and pull it off.
