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.

America has certainly followed the Old Testament playbook, with Jesus as the poster boy tacked onto the front, a prime example of false advertising.

I suspect your evangelical pastor may have been a bit miffed that Islam relegates Jesus to second place in the spiritual Top Ten.
