Takeaways from chapter 2:
1. Attworthy and Tohjani, long-standing friendships will always stand the test of time.
2. The Middle East. Fascinating history, but for the most part the political systems and social structures are totally effed up.
3. Bijan. Poster child for what is wrong with this world when there are still so many corners where it's not okay to love someone of the same sex.
4. Shari'a Law. Of all the messed up, archaic, idiotic "laws", that one needs to be the first to go. I didn't understand it when I learned about it in high school a million years ago, and I don't ever want to try to understand it.
5. Wonder who's going to go rescue Bijan? 🤔
