Islam is a religion
Kwanza is a real holiday
Two of the above statements are false...can you pick which two?
LOL!
Two of the above statements are false...can you pick which two?
==================================
Well, there are 1.6 billion Muslims in the world with Indonesia as the largest Muslim country in the world. [Google] So, you are calling all of those folks faith-less? Wow, that is quite a broad sweeping condemnation.
As for Kwanza, that sure had a short life-span, didn't it? What a joke that was.
Too bad so many nations are dependent on Arab petroleum, since MOST Arabs (but not all) are Muslim.
An old friend and I took a pilgrimage to the Holy Land with Steve Ray, a former evangelical Baptist minister-turned Catholic and one of our local tour guides was a Palestinian Arab Roman Catholic. I had to blink twice when I heard that.
Israel is run by Jewish Israelis but they rely on and hire Israeli Arabs there (mostly Muslim) to do the lion's share of manual labor. There simply aren't enough Jewish Israelis to do all the work that needs to be done in Israel...and Jewish Israelis will not wash toilets or work in restaurants washing dishes. SOMEone has to do that labor. The Jewish Israelis WILL do road work, though. Somehow, that isn't demeaning in their eyes.
Besides that many Jews live in the USA and have dual citizeship and travel freely between the USA and Israel. They were the only Americans allowed to have dual citizenship. Now the US tolerates many dual citizenships...also according to Google.
The three groups of Israelis (Jews, Muslims and Christians) get along because they have to. Interesting mix.
Every Christian OUGHT to save his/her pennies and visit the Holy Land. Steve Ray (and his wife) do the pilgrimage four times a year and they usually leave out of New York City.
There is no more Mount Calvary as the Romans took down the entire hill in the mid-4th century as there were just too many Christian pilgrims visiting there: That is just history. So, the site of the Crucificion is very close to Jesus' tomb.
I laid my already-blessed rosary down on Jesus' tomb. I still well up with tears when I think of the horrible death our good Lord endured for us. It comes to life as one enters His tomb.
The other pilgrimage I want to do is "In the Footsteps of St. Paul." We'll see.
