100 Words on Loving Our Neighbor
I have been having an interesting discussion with a friend regarding Islam, immigration, and the US travel ban. I believe there are far too many generalizations made against Muslim people. There are a minority of fundamentalist, extremist sects in Islam, just as there are in other religions and ideologies, including Christianity. I wouldn’t want someone to put me in a box and say “Christians are blank and thus not welcome here.” I want to ensure Muslims get as fair a shake as any of us. I believe strongly that love and kindness towards the foreigner and refugee must trump fear.

gRegor Morrill – Thanks. Appreciate the clarification, too!
gRegor Morrill – Agreed "sect" is too broad. Was reading about Salafi and the subgroup Salafi jihadist seems the one that can be more violent.
gRegor Morrill – What would be better phrasing?
gRegor Morrill – Was reading en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salafi_mo…, the trends section.
