The person that posted this just last week made a comment to Kitty Gilchrist about "knowing" in the Biblical sense that I thought was unnecessary. I get from his posts that he is not religious at all. Which is fine...
I question why when I was upset about the bombing at the Boston Marathon that people on this forum said that it had nothing to do with Islamic terrorism. I question why any mention of Islamic terrorism is minimized by some. I question why people bring up the crusades like they happened last week and we Christians should cringe.
It really is the same issue, The fact that there are many good Muslims does not make the real issue go away and the fact that there are many good Christians does not make the real issue go away. And the fact that there are many mentally ill people and people who are Americans who kill Americans does not make this real issue that is affecting the world go away.
And that issue is the one that sparked the attacks on Jews in Norway that was the beginning of the story posted above.

There were no attacks on Jews in Norway. There is no minimizing risk at the top, there is maximizing fear at the bottom. This is a story about two faith communities attempting solidarity to see beyond the divisions and find some common ground. (Despite Breitbart's attempt as always to throw dirt and see what sticks). I don't care if it was dozen or a thousand, it was a powerful statement for coexistence. Here is another story about Jews and Muslims working together to create a safe community.
