I’m hopeful and firmly believe that Christian / Muslim relations will only grow stronger throughout the rest my lifetime.
Too many Christians are waking up to all of the Jewish Zionist propaganda we’ve been fed by boomers our whole life. The reality is that Muslims love and respect Jesus immensely and there is so much more common ground in our beliefs and how we view the world than most Christians realize.
If I was a Muslim, I’d be real hesitant about interacting with any “savior complex” Christians. That’s not my goal at all and I don’t expect to be warmly received by every Muslim I encounter. Yet if my life experience is any indicator, most Muslims will typically respond with the kind of disproportionate hospitality that they always do.
Last night was a perfect example. I threw out to Nostr last week that I wanted to learn Arabic and would love some initial guidance to make the journey as effective as possible. My brother nostr:nprofile1qqs94dt6neu2pgx3rpa0elpdf47jlq49w2cku5t6jf8kdzr07t2redcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qyd8wumn8ghj7mn0daexummyv5hxummnw3erztnrdakj78s33tw didn’t know me at all but took two hours between 1:00 AM - 3:00 AM in Morocco to do just that. Told me up front before we met that he didn’t want any payment. Zapped him 10k sats anyways (which is nothing for two hours of 1:1 language tutoring) and immediately he said he did not need that much. Authentic generosity at its finest.
Every religion has their psychopaths and extremists, including Christians and definitely including Jewish supremacists. It just takes different forms. So when we see poor Gazans throw a homemade bomb at an IOF tank that is unacceptable. But when Jewish and Christian leaders systematically live stream a genocide for two years that is acceptable because of Oct 7? Make it make sense.
Love my Muslim brothers and sisters and sincerely hope this calling is a part of my life for all of my days.
