Dr. Abou El Fadl said , " And those who study history can study human patterns of behavior. We human beings often think that we live in unique moments in our existence. We think what we confront is unlike any other, that our lives are unique manifestations. But in reality it's remarkable how , as human beings, we often respond in the same ways, we repeat the same mistakes, we achieve the same victories and celebrate these victories over and over again. In many ways, history demonstrates how tedious human beings are both in their failures and successes."
