Daniel, This article caught my eye in February 2015 (Black History Month) after several recent incidents were televised. Franklin Grahams comments against Muslims Call to Prayer on Duke University Campus in a Methodist Church and the killing of three Muslim students in UNC Chapel Hill. As a few of my associates and I discussed these matters we agreed the the HIS-story books in America have never told the whole truth. We come from all walks of life White, African American, Christian and Muslim backgrounds and have understood the political and media influence on the lac of truth being available to everyone.

It is sad and dangerous to hear any leader say things like "Their God is not Our God" or to write articles that urge people to condem others. As a believer, the Bible says before you attempt to remove a spect of dust from your brother's eye, remove the PLANK from your own. The history of the U.S. proves that Christians slaughtered American Indians, Slaves, and forced Christianity on them. Where was the call for renouncing that behavior or the LOVE were are taught to give each other.
