I got a problem. Muslims and Christians. Anyone getting nervous yet from those two sentences? Wondering where I am heading with it?
You see Muslims and Christians have something in common. Both get blamed for some jacked up mess. Extremists on both sides do radical things and then the entire faith of both sides get slammed for it. I know Muslims. I am a Christian. Guess what?
We’re friends.
Muslims can’t stand what terrorists acting in the name of Islam. You know what? Those terrorists murder Muslims too.
My fellow Christians, you aren’t feeling this? No?
How much do you hate getting blamed for the Inquisition and all those acts by past power hungry mad men using God as a tool for their on means? How many Christians died at the hands of Christians?
Feeling it now? Do you feel that part of history being thrown at you all the time? Do you feel how screwed up people used Christianity and God to their own means and now you have to answer for it and overcome it?
People are People. They mess you over, okay, then don’t like them. If a person doesn’t mess you over, then don’t have a problem with them just because they have something in common with someone who has done something.
We don’t have to always agree with someone’s beliefs but that doesn’t mean we have to be against a person. If they are nice to you then what’s the deal?
Done.

A very important message. There is so much overlap between the beliefs of Christians, Muslims and Jewish people, including the texts they are based on. If people would focus on that instead of the differences, I bet they’d find much more commonality than they realize. Extremists can be found amongst any religion or the even non-religious.

If one has a true faith, then another’s shouldn’t be threatening. Thank you for expressing this so important message.
