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 Offer yourself
Without reserve
To be a vessel of God
The perfect grace of God prepares a perfect soul that becomes a vessel of God. This vessel carries a wonderful treasure through any turbulent time or raging sea to fulfill that that the spirit of God requires.

I can't tell who you are, in fact, condemning. Maintaining status quo injustice is often served by criticizing truth tellers like @QasimRashid.
@CRSG @QasimRashid TWW: Our Path
In the darkness you can find a path toward the vision of light and hope that draws us forward. A vision of peace, a vision of respect, a vision of acceptance, a vision of support, a vision of joy, a vision of love. This path is rough and long but hand in hand we go forward.
*Hi, thanks for your question. I ask that people look forward without remorse of the past. Learn from history and let those lessons guide your actions. OWOP
