2008 - The Consequences Of Love. - Plot & Excerpts
Why did he want to become a religious policeman all of a sudden? I had no answer. After Basil had left with the chief religious policeman I asked the iman about Basil’s decision to join the religious police, but all he said was that Basil was a blessed man and that he must have thought he could do more to help restore morality and obedience to our streets. I tried to be convinced by the imam’s explanation. I thought back to what Al-Yamani had told me and Yahya about Basil’s hunger to earn more rewards in order to counter his sins accumulated over years of living as a street boy doing anything and everything imaginable. But the truth was that this explanation didn’t entirely persuade me. “If he is only after awards why doesn’t he follow his own preaching, go to Afghanistan and seek martyrdom?” I thought back to my time in the mosque, and went over every minute I had spent there, wondering if I had left a clue for Basil somewhere or made any slip that would have given him reason to suspect my motive for vying for the imam’s hand.
