🧵THREAD: @Patreon DISCRIMINATES AGAINST IRANIAN-AMERICANS

In July 2022 they claimed it’s illegal for us to have an account because of our ‘location in Iran.’

@PersianPoetics is a Michigan LLC. I created the Patreon account in Michigan where I was born and raised.

This is a bad translation!

Here's a better one:

“Beyond heresy and faith, there’s another place,

we yearn for what’s in the midst of that desert plain.

When the gnostic arrives there, he prostrates his face,

there’s no heresy, faith, or place in that domain.”

Please mention us in any Rumi quotes you would like verified.

It's a shame when the work of lesser-known poets is stolen and attributed to Rumi.

We should give credit where credit is due. This poem is by Alexis Karpouzos.

[#rumiwasmuslim @rumiwasmuslim]

Beware of quotes attributed to Rumi that claim he belongs to no religion.

[#rumiwasmuslim @rumiwasmuslim]

Beware of the 'Rumi' or 'Shams' pages on Instagram that post poems with no source, they are mostly misattributions.

[#rumiwasmuslim @rumiwasmuslim]

A journalist should know better than to share fabricated quotes!

[Hend F Q @LadyVelvet_HFQ]

Rumi was asked: What do you gain from praying to God?
He replied: I don't earn anything, rather I lose: I lost my pride; I lost arrogance; I lost anger; I lost stress; I lost greed; I lost pleasure of lying; I lost taste of sin; I lost impatience; I lost despair & discouragement.

“It’s your road, and yours alone, others may walk it with you, but no one can walk it for you.”

― Rumi

Did Rumi really write, "I'm not Christian or Jew or Muslim...not any religion..." - or is this a fabrication? See our video to find out 👇
