I am friends with a good number of Muslim precinct chairs in my county. This story does not surprise me

This is the base of what ALL religions are supposed to be. Caring for each despite our differences and what we may have been through. These are truly good men.

Good hearted guys.

to hurt people. I am in no way saying a lot of people have strayed from their religion. The few that have get all of the attention most of the time. It is nice to see stories about the ones who do follow their true teachings.

I do not understand why being happy to hear/read about the ones who are good is a radical concept.

It’s a question of what a fanatic is. I think it’s fanatical to deny the reality of climate change, for example, and to believe that believers will be saved from it, or to think it’s a left wing hoax. There’s an incredibly large portion of the US population who believes this. Kindness and compassion are far lower on a lot of folks’ priority list than their religion would have them act.

We are all happy to hear about such kindness, but it’s sad that it’s becoming more rare, that’s what I meant.

I probably just worded it badly. I do think there are more than we think that have stuck to their base but they are just afraid to let people know they are still there. It has become more dangerous to share our beliefs and opinions so some just remain quiet.
