Yay for the Mosque approval. As a Temecula resident and Christian, I am happy that religious freedom is not just a dream for our community. Even if they were building the mosque in my backyard, I would be happy to see it. I lived 12 years of my life in Cairo and have never in all the other places I have lived felt as welcomed and part of a community as I did when I lived there, even though we were the only white family on our street. I love Arabs and Muslims, I am less and less anamored with Americans. I can’t believe Ren thought Cairo was a cesspool, WOW. I would love to raise my kids in a country where I found family and kindness to be more important than material possessions and superiority. As I have traveled most of the world I see that no matter what religion, the majority of people want to have peaceful, happy lives. A small minority want to fight and create chaos in the world, and this has nothing to do with religion, though religion is used as a means to violent ends. I believe that any participants in a religion that supported events like the Crusades and Spanish Inquisition cannot cast the first stone in labeling other religions as violent. We do the best we can with our lives and our God, let others do the same with their lives and their Jehovah or Allah. In the end, our three religions are intertwined so much that this is more about sibling rivalry than it is about terrorism or truth.
