A Jewish man was beaten in the New York Subway yesterday for saying “Happy Chanukah” in response to a group of Christians saying “Merry Christmas.” A Muslim college student came to the man’s aid and helped fight off his attackers. You can see the Associated Press news report HERE.
It puts religion in perspective, doesn’t it? All three - Jewish, Christian, and Muslim - worship the same God, yet each group is guilty of religious hatred against the others. This is why I feel so strongly about Religious Tolerance. It pains me to hear of something like this happening.
The good news is that someone had heart enough to help this man fend off their attackers. Let not the irony that it was a Muslim man who came to his aid go unnoticed. God bless both men - and I continue to pray for religious tolerance among all religions.
Namaste.
