I believe that through respect for and understanding of one another, people of these three faiths can be friends, which by the way is easier said than done. Islam is mostly misunderstood by Westerners.

As far as Muslims befriending non-Muslims, Allah says in the Quran: [Allah forbids you not with regard to those who fight you not for your faith, nor drive you out of your homes, from dealing kindly and justly with them. For Allah loves those who are just. Allah only forbids you with regard to those who fight you for your faith, and drive you out of your homes and support others in driving you out, from turning to them for protection (or taking them as wali). Those who seek their protection they are indeed wrong- doers.] (Al-Mumtahinah 60: 8-9)

I'm human
He is human
You are human
We are humans
However, some are more 'human' than others

Let us be friends, irrespective of differences!

But will the world follow our example?

Yes we can. And I am glad to be yours. Well done! :)

((HUGS)) and much love, your sister in America, Karen Lynn in Texas. :D

Yes, Abdi-noor, we can. A beautiful thought, well done, my friend!

(((HUGS))), love and prayers, your sister, Karla.

I think we can, and we should be - the world over. It would be a far more wonderful place to live if we all were.

I sure hope and pray so Abdi Noor! Would that it could be as simple as your poem makes it! Well done!

Love,
Eileen
