All three men stared open-mouthed at Levi.

“What the hell is that supposed to mean?” Gino said.

“Those two verses are about Moses talking to his people, the Jewish people. He says, ‘Oh my people, remember Allah’s blessing upon you when He appointed prophets among you, and made you kings, and gave you what none of the nations were given. Oh my people, enter the Holy Land which Allah has ordained for you, and do not turn your backs or you will become losers.’

“So,” Levi continued, “even though I know this, and I know how complicated the history of that land is, I wouldn’t feel right taking a side on this issue. Those two groups need to work it out, and us on this side need to keep our misinformed noses out of things we can’t possibly understand.”

Tony smirked at Gino’s stunned expression. “Gino, let’s go somewhere more private. We need to have a talk.”

The blood drained from Gino’s face as he realized this wasn’t a social visit.
