Untraceable quote removed
[edit]Ali's supposed interest "in bird study has always been its ecology, its life history under natural conditions and not in a laboratory under a microscope. By travelling to these remote, uninhabited places, I could study the birds as they lived and behaved in their habitats." Although this is found in some places on the Internet, the exact original source is not traceable. Would be good if someone can trace the correct citation (original publication) for this.

Edit restored
[edit]A recent IP edit attempted to remove a section on Ali's religious belief or lack of it claiming that it was "cruel" diff - I have restored this since it is an important statement of his position and for anyone interested in the original quotation, it is included in the Epilogue to his autobiography as follows (p. 229):
Q . Was religion a factor in your upbringing, and does it play a role in your life now? Has the Sufi tradition influenced you? A. Like all Muslim children at the time when I was young, and in many Muslim families even today, we were taught from an early age to read and recite the Koran parrotwise, without understanding a word of the Arabic in which it is written, and to go through the prescribed genuflections of formal prayer (namaz). I am sorry to confess that all this not only failed to elevate my spirituality but on the contrary rather put me off formal prayer for all time as a meaningless and even hypocritical performance. Critical observation in later years of some of my own ostentatiously sanctimonious elders—of their precepts vs. practices—has not helped to alter my views.
