Greetings to all those of the Islamic faith who live in N. America. You have endured much negativity and hatred over the last few years. I offer the hand of friendship and acceptance and reject all bigotry and ignorance.
Stand firm in your faith. As a prson "grounded" in Christianity I offer thanks to Islam for their wisdom, tolerance and scholarship.
Just a small greeting in a world so often filled with hatred and violence.
If you want to add your greeting please do so. Please do not use this invitation as an excuse for bigotry or negativity.

Moe - Thank you for your return greeting. I hope others will read your posting and understand the injustice of bigotry and hatred as experienced on a personal level.

CCN - Just to put the record straight I am an immigrant to Canada. My goal is peace and acceptance. I have no association with US politics, military etc.

Hello to my Muslim friends, especially those who've helped me grow and change in my opinions through here. LOVE!

I wish for all to have peace and to find generosity in their hearts.
I do not know much about the Muslim faith, but there is one thing I have heard which I feel is of great value. The idea that any worship of God should be respected. Please forgive me if I have misworded this concept, but it is how I understood it.
Thank you for the wonderful question.

may peace be with you and your family
and happy holiday to everyone

I agree with and extend tolerance and greetings, but can not agree with "faith".
As long as any believer does not harm others, you are free to believe what you wish but it does not change the facts. I have volunteered and served to ensure that you have this right.

Awwww, this the 5th positive question I've come across today. It's so great to see love spread on R&S for a change. Of course I join you in greetings and I want to wish all Muslims Eid Mubarak. It's never too late, I guess.
Peace! :-)

WHAT ABOUT TRUTH
call it what you want
BUT they are lost and dieing through FALSE TEACHINGS
and IF you are a TRUE BELIEVER IN CHRIST
YOU SHOULD or WOULD SPEAK THE TRUTH of GODS WORD to them
JESUS CHRIST and HE ALONE IS GOD
and ONLY THROUGH and BY HIM and HIM ALONE
can one obtain Eternal LIFE
and when TRUTH became bigotry or negativity to YOU
lets me KNOW
YOU are in NEED of HIM as well in your life
REPENT and OPEN YOUR EYES to the TRUTH of GODS WORD
and Not mans frail attempt to build a bridge trying to shortening a gap they themselves have no wisdom to build !!!!!!!!!!!
