How genuine dialogue can change us and our world

Now We’re Talking

December 6, 2015 by Fel Leave a Comment

In June 2015, a group of people demonstrated outside a mosque in Phoenix, some carrying guns, some wearing ‘Fuck Islam’ t-shirts. Two of the protestors, Jason Leger and his uncle Paul Griffith, were invited in by the local mosque members to observe their prayers and service. The result? Two changed men.

“Out of respect for the Islamic people,” said Leger, “knowing what I know now, because I have talked to them and spoke to them, no, I would not do that again, just because I don’t want to offend or hurt those people.”

This video is just a little over 2 minutes, worth your time.

Change of heart: anti-Islam protester observes prayer service

Mainstream media: We see plenty of hateful, divisive news. More reporting of healing news like this, please.
