Knowing My Muslim Neighbour

We’re living in a time of great divides, where it is easy for people to become fearful about others who are different from them. For Muslims, that’s been a real concern since 9/11, and even though that happened a decade ago, we’re still wrestling with how to counter Islamaphobia.
 
What does it mean to love your Muslim neighbour? We want to hear your ideas as you consider the workshop on Islamaphobia in February 2010 Mandate. We’re publishing the workshop to get people in our congregations and communities thinking about how we can all start to cross the divides, wherever they occur.

Each was wearing a hijab as we chatted beside a display table at an Eid celebration last Friday. My head was uncovered and I was wearing my big beaded cross necklace.

An unmarried couple get caught in a compromising position on a beach in Dubai and get arrested.  The question being: do we feel sorry for this girl and think she got a rough go of it? Or should she have been more mindful of the customs and laws in the country that she was a guest in?
