I absolutely reject and abhor some of the tenants of Islam as expressed in the Koran and the Habif and as practiced by jihadists and conservative Muslims. But I have met people who are Muslims....usually because of their culture and upbringing....who are wonderful and who I think I could be friends with. Words like "Islamaphobia", because they aren't clearly defined, are designed to suppress criticism of Islam by lumping together genuine bigots with those who legitimately question what the religion teaches. Maybe because I also reject the tenets of white nationalism I am guilty of Naziphobia.MNThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11171484496191957444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5839286112311865682.post-58264719558591239872019-08-20T21:26:56.437-04:002019-08-20T21:26:56.437-04:00@Wcjm, I am not sure why you would expect politici...@Wcjm, I am not sure why you would expect politicians, either left or right, to express love. <br />The point here as I see it is that Christ followers are supposed to love others, even their enemies. We should examine ourselves rather than looking around for people who are not loving in order to justify an unloving attitude on our part.(2 Corinthians 13:5)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5839286112311865682.post-81642104829664361062019-08-20T14:35:01.030-04:002019-08-20T14:35:01.030-04:00Love is not a word that immediately comes to mind ...Love is not a word that immediately comes to mind when I watch the behavior of Ilhan Omar or RashidaTlaib.Wcjmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01983225562542840376noreply@blogger.com
