Interesting to see #WhoIsMuhammad
trending on Twitter - a man who would smile if mocked (so presumably
would have done so at the Charlie Hebdo cartoons), promoted respect for
women and education and purportedly tolerated people of all races and
creeds - to the extent that, when asked why he stood at the passing of a
coffin for a Jew, he replied "Was he not a human being?". Regardless
of where you think he stands in terms of salvation, these look like the
marks of a good Teacher at the very least - why don't the extreme Islamists get this?
Hoping these positive messages might lead to the unity between religions
we've seen in France.
The
mistake of the peaceful majority in the past was to remain silent - they're not doing so now and we should all promote peace - loudly!
