Qasim Rashid, Esq.Jun 5, 2023

I attended an interfaith event last Friday & the evangelical pastor lamented to me,"America's lost her way because we've forgotten Jesus."

I responded, "As a Muslim I love Jesus too—but when exactly would you say America 'followed' Jesus? Was it during Native Genocide? Slavery? Jim Crow? Denying women equal rights? While invading Iraq?”

Deafening silence.

If you want to show me your faith, first show me your service to ALL humanity—regardless of faith or no faith. B/c faith w/o works is dead.

@QasimRashid As a Jew, I would say that Jesus is not important to me, and there is no reason that he needs to be. What is important to me, however, is the unfulfilled promise of American freedom, justice, and equality. This project does not require religion.
