dear friends,
As the lone muslim in this forum, i wouldn't want to miss out, and wish everyone a happy and joyous Christmas.
in this age of extremism, political correctness, and global uncertainty, its easily forgotten that Islam, Christianity, and Judaism are under the same Abraham root. All worshipers of the 3 faiths are virtually cousins of faith.
Though clearly there are differences within the 3 faiths(that seem destined to last) 99.9% muslims view the Christians, Jews, and all persons regardless of faith, creed and colour, with the same degree of respect and friendliness.
If only we muslims can help our the 0.01% of our misguided brothers.
i hope with the coming of 2009, the global uncertainty will be lifted, and peace and prosperity will be back.
i also like to think that whatever happens in this crazy world of ours, i have some great Jewish and Christian friends here in this forum, half way round the world.
thank you.
sincerely,
nasir kasmani,
singapore.
