Muslim states seek UN action on West’s ‘Islamophobia’So Muslims apparently have feelings too... story worth reading: Source Seems that Muslim nations are mounting a UN effort to curb growing 'Islamaphobia'in the West. Muslims assert that the West has characterized all Muslims as terrorists... of course they assert that Israel is the #1 culprit because of its handling of the Palestinian issues. Certainly it should be mentioned that Iran, Iraq, and most Muslim nations have terrible human rights records, especially towards Christians. It is a pity that Christians have limited and in some cases no freedom to live out their faith, including sharing truth about Jesus with Muslims. Many times this law is extended to prohibit even talking about Jesus or worshiping with regularity. This is a travesty, and even in the moderate Muslim nation we live in, it is illegal to 'proselytize' or try to convince someone to accept the claims of Christianity. However, I though it was worth demonstrating that the street must go both ways. Christians cannot treat Muslims with disrespect in the West, and expect the Muslim majority nations to extend full freedom and rights to them in the East. Jesus said to turn the cheek, to treat others how we want to be treated... does this apply to nations too? I'd encourage you to greet your Muslim neighbor or colleague next time you see them, and tell them that you are sorry for the way the world is, and want to be their friend. The street goes two ways, but someone has got to initiate change... |
