~ "I know he not only has money for a pair of new socks but for buying an entire factory but for one second I have imagined a World in which the '06 Nobel Peace Prize winner's, Muhammad Yunus, bank (http://www.grameen-info.org) had changed the way we see those entities that play with our money and had driven World Bank close to bankruptcy.
[It's not strange to see embarrassed foreigners showing their holed socks before entering a mosque in Turkey, one of the few countries that allow kafirs (christians, jews and those who deny Muhammad's prophethood ) to visit muslim temples.]"
