Very happy to see the Muslims tackling this issue as a faith-based approach. I know of a couple Christian faith-based approaches to the issue and it’s high time Muslims got involved.

Namely, when I began to deal with art directors and art buyers, it became very apparent that AD’s and AB’s knew nothing of art, direction, or even buying and selling really. They were cardboard manifest. The very antithesis of my...
