If they, two people, out of love for each other, could put their religious differences aside, then we also can if we want to. But perhaps I am being naive.<BR/><BR/>All I know is that neither gave up their religions for the other: one did not convert to the other's religion. Instead, I was brought up in a home where I not only got exposed to different languages and completely different cultures, but also the different religions and what each had to offer. I grew up going to both Houses of Worship my entire life and I am comfortable in both. I wish many would have had this wonderful blessing that I was given.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for this post. It is good when we are reminded time and again of the tragedies that staying loyal to one's difference espouses. I will look into the video tonite as I cannot link to it from where I am now. I am looking forward to it.<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>Rebeccarebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18248554235709475320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7629413949146506359.post-59011355281218292622008-03-24T15:58:00.000+02:002008-03-24T15:58:00.000+02:00I don't know what to say here other than a powerfu...I don't know what to say here other than a powerful post..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7629413949146506359.post-56069968138354050022008-03-24T07:16:00.000+02:002008-03-24T07:16:00.000+02:00Very powerful.

Why do people post anonymously when it's so clear it's peace at stake here - not the prejudice. Our inner role models need strengthening. Our inner eyes need reconfirmation. Our political leaders need reaffirming.<BR/>As one who has Palestinian relatives, I understand just EXACTLY where your coming from.Pieces of Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04096718033921488677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7629413949146506359.post-28671037454276354612008-03-23T22:57:00.000+02:002008-03-23T22:57:00.000+02:00This post is not only meaningful and moving, it is...This post is not only meaningful and moving, it is especially so coming from you.

It is all about listening, really listening and finding a path between opposites. Have you read Three Cups Of Tea??? I got to see where I had developed some prejudices and assumptions. It is time we each look and see where we can do better. We are here, in this place together. It is one of the things I am so appreciative for the internet, for I have friends, like you across the world, weaving a web of friendship...Leahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07101643429585271655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7629413949146506359.post-74731152121509004052008-03-23T18:00:00.000+02:002008-03-23T18:00:00.000+02:00Wise and excellent post!
