Funny thing. Yesterday, our son and his wife came over for a cookout. Both of our sons by my wife's first marriage are Muslim. They often come to hear my Gospel group perform, or to hear their sister, who is a Baptist Minister preach. We support our Muslim sons as well, by attending banquets and programs they present. A month or so ago, we went to a wonderful banquet honoring women who have worked hard to make the community a better place. There were six recipients of the award, more than half of them white non-muslims. Yesterday our son brought over the front page of the Muslim paper in this area, and there in prominent placement was a photograph of my wife and I sitting at a table reserved by the Amman (not sure of the spelling, and I don't feel like going upstairs.

Statistics are great. They can be manipulated to support almost any opinion. They may even be accurate within a particular area of a country (or even a whole country.) It's when they become blanket statements that they become ignorant.

Shalom!
