That picture of the Iraqi hugging the American soldier brought tears to my eyes! Thank you Jesus! Continual prayers for our BRAVE COURAGEOUS SOLDIERS!! God BLESS America!!

Re. the one of the GI getting a hug; the old fellow in the foreground seems to be praising Allah for something that he might have been praying for for a long, long time;

Could it have been FREEDOM?

I would like to think of the Praises of many Faith Traditions blending with this old man's gratitude in a mighty, resonant spiritual chord of worship and thanks, pleasing to the ears of our Common Creator.

Do I hear an "Amen!", somebody?

Now Here's your theological question of the day;

When Allah is praised, does Christ take notice?

When a fervent, earnest, and rightous Prayer is lifted up in Jesus' precious Name, or in Hebrew at the Wailing Wall, or at a Shrine in Tibet... might "Allah" attend?

Just wondering.

Shalom.
