Re: Recent letters concerning Muslims, Sharon Murguia. (February 18, 2011)
Before getting to righteous about the Judeo-Christian God, let us not forget from whence we have come and where we have yet to go. Forgetting can be so very convenient. In our own American history, we Christians have exterminated the savages in the name of our God. We have exterminated life opportunities for a variety of minorities, both through the evil of slavery and the more modern ghetto. Our failed public education system kills life opportunities for half of our children. Some of us would rather the children suffer for the rest of their lives than see any change in administrative control, pay and benefits (Wisconsin).
Ignoring injustice to further personal circumstances is killing. We Christians may not pull the trigger but the killing goes on, dead is dead. The Muslim vision of God may justify pulling the trigger but both religious traditions have some growing to do. The choice is not between Gods. The choice is ours.
