Jews & Muslims Come Together In a Spirit of Humanity

There were many Jews at the Darfur rally who are very passionate about this cause as they can relate to it. Elie Wiesel, a holocaust survivor (yes the holocaust did happen) was a speaker at the event. Also Muslims, Jews, Christians and people from all walks of life and backgrounds came together in a spirit of brotherhood. Yes, finally the Jews and Muslims can befriend each other and focus on the similarities rather than our differences. It’s truly touching. Many of the Darfuris grew up in Sudan having the wrong perception about the Jews. That is all changing now especially in Portland, Maine were there is a large concentration of Darfuris living there. Barriers, stereotypes and misconceptions are being thrown out of the window. This actually gives some hope. I hope I can do the same with this humble of mine blog regarding Muslims.

    as a Christian, I’m certainly getting a much better picture of Muslims than I usually get from the media– you’re not a nutso fundamentalist, but you’re not exactly a gushy liberal, either. I’m glad that there are Muslims out there who want to work for peace and justice in the world– how many people like you do you think are out there?

    Mathew believe me there are many like me out there who feel the way I feel and want postive changes. Many like me are willing to reach out and “compromise”.

    The majority of Muslims don’t hate Westerners. However they don’t like the Westerners’ governments and despise them. I don’t want to use the word “hate” since it’s a strong word. I reserve it for the extremists who oppose everything and anything Western.

    Thanx for dropping by.
