I have a Muslim boss. He is better than most that I ever had. However, every now and then he takes his mask off of the “moderate muslim” myth. He commented how he and his family traveled through SC and GA and saw many many churches, and said that “there is too many.” I said, if they are can keep the doors open, then there is not.
He said that Christian and Jews in the Middle East all lived peacefully and Muslims. I said, how come there is so few. He simply said that they all converted to Islam. I said, “what about the Armenian Genocide.” He said “They are trouble makers.”
Anyway, you get the idea. Quite scary that he would believe that there are too many churches.
Yes, I know about the problem. It is written into their book.
The ones who have not read it are not the problem.
Some who have read it know this is wrong and would change it. It has not taken hold in many places.
I have some Muslim friends, but I understand the reality of this. The author grew up in Turkey, she fully understands it.
