Every person deserves to rest in peace: Muslims Help Repair Vandalized Jewish Cemetery

[guillaumeb]

From the article:

In a compassionate gesture of solidarity, these Missouri Muslims have raised thousands of dollars through on online crowdfunding website to repair the Jewish headstones that were vandalized over the weekend.
Almost 200 Jewish graves at the Chesed Shel Emeth Society cemetery in St. Louis were knocked over or vandalized during President’s Day weekend. When activists Tarek El-Messidi and Linda Sarsour heard about the incident, they were shocked and heartbroken.

Another example of how faith both motivates people to live their beliefs and how faith can build solidarity.

1. Yep! Not all religious people are horrible people.

Even though some may think that.

2. Any belief system can be used to support what someone wants to do.

Just as there have been many religious inspired wars, there have been millions killed by non-theists.

3. absolute truth be told: Christians, Jews and Muslims are far more alike...

...in their doctrines and beliefs than disruptors and instigators would have us believe.

[guillaumeb]

4. True. The 3 Abrahamic religions have a common root in Judaism.

But dividing people serves the interests of the rich.

5. Yes it does, unfortunately...

...and they tend to have their greedy, grabby little claws into just about everything these days.

6. you don't need FAITH to be COMPASSIONATE

[guillaumeb]

7. Of course not.

I would never suggest otherwise.

[Skittles]

8. you did in your last line

this is very nice work indeed, but the idea you need faith to be motivated to do the right thing is incorrect

[guillaumeb]

9. The last line:

Another example of how faith both motivates people to live their beliefs and how faith can build solidarity.

Nowhere did I say that only faith can...... etc.

10. the inference is there

it always is

over and out

[guillaumeb]

11. Meaning that anytime I post anything positive, that proves my bias?

So if anyone here constantly posts negative articles about religion what are we to infer?
