I had the wonderful pleasure of being Chief Operating Officer for emel for what turned out sadly to be a very short period of time.<br />In that time I got to know Sarah pretty well, and like all of us the perceived confidence that is seen and exhausted through communicating with many many different groups also hides a distinct lack of confidence. <br />Sarah truly does believe in everything she stands for and believes in, however this also shows itself in sometimes an unbending way, not a holistically helpful way.<br /><br />The fact that every time you read about Sarah you will also preface with 'raised a catholic' is, in my view, a way of trying to be more accepting of the Islamic way of life than someone who was already raised this way, a need for over acceptance, which is not always a healthy way to announce yourself.<br /><br />However, the work that has been done has truly helped create a much needed bridge between Muslims and Non Muslims but in reality this needs to be achieved at a local everyday level and I thank Sarah for at least starting the process that this could actually happen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
