In a world filled with hate, why can't a bunch of us come together and just sing and dance and show how much we love each other regardless of race or beliefs? I love everyone!

It would be nice. I don't know about all the hugging. I think maybe a handshake or nod or kind words. I think some of the opposite sex will get offended by just going around hugging each other. But you're on the right track. Kum-ba-ya my friend!

Such divisions arose, the Qur'an points out, because of undue selfishness, transgression, aggression and mutual jealousy (al-Baqarah 2:213; Al 'Imran 3:19). The Qur'an also points out that these divisions arose among people when they ignored the word of Allah and His guidance and "sold Allah's words for a paltry price"(al-Baqarah 2:79), when they went to extremes (ghuluww) in their religion, when they corrupted Allah's message (tahrif), when they consigned some part of it to oblivion, or when they took one part of Allah's teachings and ignored the other. Each group divided up Allah's messages and instead of following the knowledge (al-'ilm) that was given to them by Allah's prophets, they followed their own whims and wishes (ahwa').
Thus some evil religious leaders went astray and also misled their followers (al-Baqarah 2:120, 121; al-Ma'idah 5:177; Al-An'am 6:119; al-Rum 30:29; al-Jathiyah 45:18; Muhammad 47:14, 16)
The Qur'an makes us fully aware that there are a variety of religious communities, each happy with its own version of the truth (al-Mu'minun 23:53; al-Rum 30:32). They all possess some truth which is a part of the true Islam in their midst, but regrettably none of them has preserved the message of Allah in its complete and authentic form (al-Ma'idah 5:13-14). Allah sent Prophet Muhammad to guide humanity to the original and authentic faith and the message of Allah.

Great point,but I have to say that most people are very selective about who they hug even in a forum that encourages hugging.To many irrational and some rational fears.Germs, homophobia,women thinking that every guy wants to grope them,guys that want to grope every woman.Again,all it takes is one bad apple to spoil the bunch.Unfortunate but true.The animalistic nature in some humans may be to powerful to prevent them from even entertaining the idea.

That is a wonderful way to be, You must be a happy Christian. Don't let anyone steal that love, and joy form you. I love my church, because we worship that same way, and I love that open relationship with God. Good for you, and some day we will all come together with Jesus and be truly happy. : )

Many do not love you back. And NOTHING you could do will cause them to. If you took that attitude to the streets abroad, you wouldn't last a week. Unfortunate, but that will have to wait for heaven

it's a question of trust. too much has happened and we can't simply put the past aside and trust one another. it's sad but true. but if you can get just one person to have mutual feelings as you do, i say you are doing fine

I think that, that would be great!! But not everyone would agree... Some people would rather hate than love.. It is sad I know but what does one do?

I love people too but no thanx - unless I see everyone shower, brush their teeth and use deodorant then maybe we'll talk

Because there's bound to be a pervert trying to cop a cheap feel. I don't let strangers hug me.
