| "There's an old joke about William Shakespeare being an Arab - how else, it explains, can you account for the name, Sheikh Zubair." writes Ali Jafaar in the (Lebanon) Daily Star and I stop and read it again. I hadn't heard about it so far, but it proves a good introduction into an article, reporting about an Islam awareness week at the Globe Theater in London, titled "Shakespeare and Islam". The right project at the right time to answer public ignorance and prejudices (again) with cultural and arts projects, presenting the unknown in order to enhance understanding. Aren't Shakespeare's characters Prospero ("The Tempest") and Edgar ("King Lear") maybe even strongly influenced by Sufi Philosophy?
