Mosque

The debate on the Ground Zero mosque location is heating up like that cup of water I forgot in the microwave. It touches a lot of nerves and raw memories.

My family accepted a public invitation from the local mosque here to join them for a Ramadan feast last night complete with a tour of the mosque and some Q & A. The folks were warm, genuine, humble, and authentic seekers of God. I was reminded that it is easy to love friendly people, but hard to love what seems mysterious, dark, and dangerous to us.

If it were possible to believe that every single Muslim is our enemy - which they're not - then we're supposed to be kind and loving and meek toward them. Even the ones wanting their Ground Zero mosque. If you don't like that idea, go argue with Jesus.
