Had to share this:
U.S. Muslims awed by kindnesses.
God bless. Sometimes I’m really, really proud of my countrymen.
That is refreshing. Thanks for drawing this to our attention.
Thank you for sharing this. It’s REALLY nice to see.
ooh goosebumps
I’m bumping this again.
Sometimes we manage to do things right.
I don’t know if Islamics would consider this insulting, but believe me that wasn’t the intent.
At church this morning, at the end of the service, our Pastor made a announcement about the U.S. bombing. He then prayed for both sides, saying that no matter whether or not people accepted our God, nevertheless He made them, and loves them. As God loves all people, so should we.
A number of us, myself and my twelve year old son included, were in tears. I honestly believe we were as worried for the Afghanies as for ourselves. We have all seen the recent pictures of the ordinary people of Afghanistan, and I know my heart goes out to them.
Hmm, I thought I was done with the ramdon crying in my office, but that article moved me to tears. Thanks so much for posting the link to it.
Just when I’m ready to cede the world to the morons and haters and become a full-blown cynic, my faith in humanity gets renewed. Thanks or the article.
Don’t Christians, Muslims and Jews all worship the same god, but in different ways? IIRC, Jesus is an important prophet in the Koran.
Thanks for sharing this link, squeegee. I was really moved.
Amen. [various smilies with “American” headwear, Middle Eastern, British, Japanese, Russian, African, etc. :)] Or, as Fonzie might say, “Ayyy. Wo.”
I found an interesting squib in that link; "Bin Laden video: “America Struck by God Almighty.”
Golly, is he a disciple of Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson? He might be suprised to hear what those two characters said about the September 11 attacks… :rolleyes:
Yeah, me, too. Luckily I work at home. It really is one of those unexpectedly good stories that catches you off guard.
I gotta quit posting in my sleep!
