US Muslim groups launch fundraiser to help rebuild burned black churches

“It’s Ramadan, and we are experiencing firsthand the beauty and sanctity of our mosques during this holy month. All houses of worship are sanctuaries, a place where all should feel safe,” the coalition wrote.

the group actually brought that up:

Like black communities in the United States, the coalition wrote, American Muslims are also vulnerable to intimidation, though not to the same extent as African-Americans.

“The American Muslim community cannot claim to have experienced anything close to the systematic and institutionalized racism and racist violence that has been visited upon African-Americans,” organizer Imam Zaid Shakir wrote on the campaign’s website.

However, Muslims can understand the “climate of racially inspired hate and bigotry that is being reignited in this country,” he wrote, saying the American Muslim community should stand in solidarity with African-Americans.

Only non-denominational churches should be tax free.

Agreed.

I think my grandpa sees this from Heaven and rolling his eyes. He hated it when I left the Baptist church. He said it dishonored the family. Well, he should be happy that the Catholics tried and failed in trying to get me to join. They know better now because I know about the book better than they do.

If any of you go to a Catholic church ask a priest about a bible passage and watch their face, it is hilarious. They canned their sermons, like it is scripted.

the group actually brought that up:

Most Muslim churches are mainly housed by African-Americans and I know a lot of them. We don't agree with a lot of things, but if we had their leadership and send them to the Middle East, things would be infinitely better. They modernize their religion here just like the other religions, even Buddhist and Hindus, Americanize if you want to call it. It is a better way to be religious without maiming and killing those who are unlike you.

Funny, we had a few incidents in the US in any of the non Protestant religions in this country and for the MOST part, those other religions are tolerant of the Protestant faith. You won't see this in the middle east and that is the problem.
