Leslie Marshall’s husband is an orthopedic surgeon in California.
Her husband was born in New York. His parents are from India. “He’s not political at all,” said Leslie. “I mean the joke is, ‘Honey, who am I voting for so I don’t sleep on the couch.’
“My husband was raised Muslim and his parents are Muslim. Both he and his parents are physicians, and I find it odd that no one asks, when my husband is saving their lives as he does weekly (he is an orthopedic sports and trauma surgeon), what his religion is; they just want him to help them remain alive. No one asked my mother-in-law who, who delivered over 3,000 American babies—who brought forth life—her religion when she was helping them bring their baby into the world. Perhaps the Muslims doctors should start asking the patients what their religion is.”
I used to be a Christian. But it is the hate that groups such as the Florida Family Association, and the hypocrisy of those and other Christian groups have illustrated time and time again that kept me away. Much like Gandhi, I could not find Christ among them.
Is that last line all yours?
