You can't stop birds from flying over your head.....
But you can stop them from laying a nest on your hair......
-Martin Luther-
I heard this quote from 2 different people yesterday on 2 different occations.
Nayif Abdullah and Jeff Kim. It deals with temptations. I thought it was a great quote. But its got nothing to do with what I want to talk about today.
I was walking around in South Coast Plaza yesterday and there he was. Nayif Abdullah is someone I went to high school with. The only guy that was in Wrestling and Football all four years with me. Nayif grew up a Muslim. In high school he became a Christian. Nayif and I was talking about this that and the other. He is from Jordan and he is half Palestinian.
We talked about how strange it is that there are such strong hatred for the Arab world. Nayif being a Christian and having the Palestinian heritage realizes that hatred for either Jewish and the Muslim is wrong. Have compassion for both right?
We are not talking about the holocaust or the WWII.... But we all talking about walling in a group of people in one place.... What the hell is that? Walling in a group of Palestinians.... How can you support that? When you start walling in a group of people..... One should think about that and say, hmmmmmm.... Is that right?
One of the reasons why I stopped listening to Christian radios all together is because of such strong conservative views and blatant siding against the Palestinians. Not just Christian radio, but also others like Rush Limbaugh, that one guy something Savage and such..... They create panic when it is absolutely not necessary. People are either great influencer or easily influenced.... So if one has great influence over people, they should really think about what they say...... But they just talk crap... It's like the Nazis... Hitler took advantage of people while they were down. Extremely oppressed people are looking for hope. Germans were extremely oppressed after WW1 Hitler saw the perfect opportunity to do his thing.... What a great opportunity for us Christians to show the Palestinians the Love of Christ.... But nope. We bash them. Why is it that so many Christians just don't see the facts? Yes we should have great relationships with the Jews.... But we should also have a great relationships with Palestinians. Sadly.... It's Mostly the Americans. Yes.. It is true. We are the leading haters of many people..... We Christians.... Are sometimes the worst at hating...
