Z*****m and Islamophobia are crimes against humanity. Of course, so is any form of fundamentalism, Muslim or otherwise: it is terrorism of arms or thought. What is "onward Christian soldiers," a popular hymn, saying? How about "the full armor of the Lord"?

I do not agree with the prophet Mohammed. K*****g people over a difference in beliefs about the nature of God is a mental illness. But some Christians find the same extremism in the words of the Prince of Peace. They found just sanction for s***ery. They found just sanction to forbid interracial marriage and segregation. They found protesting the deaths of those defending our country as an a*********n before the Lord. Human failings.

My bent is to fail and even die on the side of unconditional love, as Jesus spoke of. That means accepting this mosque with open arms, rushing as the father in the Prodical Son to embrace and lay out a feast for those of this faith. None of us leave this place alive. Making our survival paramount to how we live and act each day is more than just childish: it is an attack on decency, t***h, and humanity.
