onlyme2 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Leena Al-Arian, an American Muslim woman from Boston, wrote in a Facebook post about the moment a stranger, Lenny, approached her at a Barnes & Noble bookstore, told her how beautiful her daughters were and apologized for the anti-Muslim sentiment in society today. "He had tears in his eyes and told me that it must be so hard to turn on the news, that he feels awful about the bigotry my kids might one day experience, and that as a Jewish man whose parents didn’t speak any English growing up, he personally understands what it feels like to be rejected and discriminated against". Al-Arian had taken her daughters, 4-year-old Hiba, and 20-month-old Huda, to the bookstore to meet characters from the cartoon “Paw Patrol.” After meeting Lenny, Al-Arian asked if she could hug him because it looked like he needed one (and she needed one as well). He reassured her that most Americans are not prejudiced against Muslims and don’t believe everything they hear in the news, she said." "He then told me he's turning 90 on Friday and insisted on buying each of the kids a present as a gift for himself and so they can have something to remember him by. I told him we should just take a picture instead so I can tell them the story one day (he accepted) but insisted on buying them gifts anyway afterwards". A one faith state (whatever that faith may be) will never work, please stop attempting to create one, all you are doing is ruining your own people's lives along with everyone else's.

Chatman Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Ordinary people do not discriminate between them. Take the example of Yugoslavia. Created after the World War I, Muslims living in this state, Hebrew, The Orthodox, Catholics etc. They all lived together, they created mixed families, and no one felt offended that on the same street there was a mosque near a Christian church or a synagogue.Unfortunately, humanity, friendship, tolerance are put aside when a leader manipulate ordinary people, turning them into enemies to each other.

SnakeMasteR Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Looks like we run in circles here. In case you copy&pasted the article "as is" from another site, then you should mention that site at the end (just linking back to it). That probably is to avoid this forum being sacked from copyright fanatics. If you did it yourself, you don't need a source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then, the Orthodox Serbs started fighting against the Catholic Croats and the Muslim Bosnians. Yugoslavia broke apart after years of civil war and massive atrocities. As it was proved, the three (3) religion groups (i.e. Orthodox, Catholic, and Muslim Yugoslavians) couldn't live so peacefully... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was quoted in my original post appeared first on Facebook, who is the original copyright holder, and which is clearly linked in the post. It seems that a few people around here need to brush up on copyright law, especially on the original copyright holder section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
