May each of you have the heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, and the hand to execute works that will leave the world a little better for your having been here. -- Ronald Reagan

Muslim Dances on Altar

Muslim dancer on altar

A Muslim, from Somalia according to reports, jumped up on the altar of The Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore, Florence, Italy, and danced. It took a long time to build this place. Construction began in 1296 and it was completed in 1436.

I think of all the damage done to Christian places of worship. I remember how outraged I was when Islamofacists occupied and trashed The Church of the Nativity in May of 2002. For those not knowing the import of this place, it’s traditionally where the baby Jesus was born. I didn’t hear much condemnation from the Christian community. There’s an ongoing history of disrespect of places of worship of Jews and Christians. They, on the other hand, shoot people from mosques and say no one can shoot back because mosques are holy ground.

This guy dances on an altar. No outrage. If a Christian or Jew, or anyone else for that matter, did such a thing in a mosque, he’d be dead.





Yet we are to respect these one way people.






Christians mostly just pray for such misguided souls. Doesn't seem much of a choice. Get insulted, pray for the insulter, or insulted and kill the insulter.
