78 views and only one reply. What does it take? Do I need to mention Terry Jones in the subject line? Some Shia leader that we're suppose to venerate? Should I say "Palestine!" or "09/11!"?
We pay far too much attention to the negative on this website. This is why I am slowly drifting away to more positive environs.

I saw this a few weeks ago and had to applaud this woman for her humility and compassion for Muslims. Half the time it feels as if there are advocates for other faiths speaking up on behalf for others yet the rest of the time it feels as if the lines have been clearly drawn. This is actually an improvement considering the latter sentiment actually used to have more presidence than the former one. Sometimes, it feels as if it still does. However, this pastor is an shining example of peace and tolerance in the Christian community and I hope that others can follow in her example and not shy away from following their faiths the way they were meant to as well. The comparisons she made between Christianity and Islam were so amazing it almost felt as if she was doing dawah for Islam. It wouldn't be a surprise if she helped a few reverts find their way to Islam that day. May she be guided towards it as well but if not, she's doing a fine example of practicing her religion the way she should. In peace and acceptance of others.

She was a wonderful speaker! Oh, how my heart broke when she said that Muhammad's wife gave birth 2 days later. I still have tears in my eyes from that.
I did a quick lookup for her church. On youtube, this is the description:

It's good to hear people being understanding, courteous and tolerant.
They seem to have very accurate goals in seeking the truth. If they stick to the first part and ask God Almighty's help for guidance, they will be guided to the religion of Islam.
May Allah Almighty guide them to the way of all Prophets (ie total submission to Allah Almighty or Islam). Ameen
Wasalaamalaykum waa rahmatullahi
