Pointing to an aerial view of shoddy white tents, he explained, &#8220;These were our homes.&#8221; A short video of men dancing together came next. &#8220;Some liked to dance; it brought us together.&#8221; Two more images followed &#8211; of a man on a stretcher and another lying lifeless on the side of the road. &#8220;We lost so many people,&#8221; Omar murmured. &#8220;My father and brother died there.&#8221;<\/p><p>After seeing these images, I asked Omar how his experiences had affected his faith. Omar sat still for a moment, thinking. He finally looked at Muhammad, our translator, and offered him a very lengthy response. When Omar finished, Muhammad merely said, &#8220;I guess our faith was strengthened.&#8221;<\/p><p>This was how my questions were usually met: with brevity. However, Omar and Muhammad&#8217;s brevity was not to be confused with superficiality. I understood their short answers to be the deepest and most expressive responses I could hope to hear from them. Both men were usually very hesitant to share their experiences, primarily because their relationship with Islam and their struggles in Iraq were too personal to be set out before me in casual conversation.<\/p><p>Neither was their brevity to be confused with hostility. Toward the end of our meeting, Omar asked me, &#8220;How many brothers and sisters do you have?&#8221; When I told him none, he pointed to his chest. &#8220;Brother. You have a brother. You need anything, you call me anytime.&#8221;<\/p><p>Utterly humbled, I asked him, &#8220;How do you say &#8216;brother&#8217;?&#8221;<\/p><p>&#8220;Ech!&#8221;<\/p><p>I smiled and nodded to him. &#8220;Ech.&#8221;<\/p><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n\t\t( function( $ ) {\n\t\t\tlet panel = document.getElementById('block_acf-block-65aa86999a245-acc-content-panel');\n\n\t\t\t\/*\n\t\t\t * Need to set a value for maxHeight to initialize the accordion properly.\n\t\t\t * If we don't include this conditional, the accordion doesn't nicely transition to open\/close on the first click.\n\t\t\t *\/\n\t\t\tif ( 1 == 0 ) {\n\t\t\t\tpanel.style.maxHeight = 0 == 1 ?
