The idea of the West being civilized is all a sham. The idea of Arabs being terrorists is a mere lie similar to the endless lies that have been told about Native Americans and many other indigenous groups.

In Arabic we say that hearts are the homes of secrets; some secrets love to torment us and some stay with us until we die. We also say that a life that gives is a life that never ends. That is small consolation to Islam and to me and to so many others who are forever touched and changed by Anthony Bourdain’s wild and daring life.

Tony, we send you love in your transition. You once confided, ‘I wish I didn’t have to leave all the time.’ I hope your feet find their grounding in the other realm.”

—Vivien Sansour, who was Anthony Bourdain’s field coordinator and guide in Palestine, in “Anthony Bourdain’s visit to Palestine changed lives,” 2018.
