(quote) "Can't we unite over something that isn't divisive?

Only someone who can not put aside their own self of self-exclusiveness could consider "Amazing Grace" ,sung within the context of America's Euro-historic culture and the fact that it is inspired by a unquely American moment in infamy, could label this song about healing as "divisive".

I'd be just as content to have the Islamic world make a stand for healing and join in *share* a song of healing and peace from their culture and broadcast *that* all over the world. Apparently you'd probably consider this as "improper" as well because that song would also come from a culture that is inextricably religious.

One wonders aloud just where is Islam's equivalent of a Mahatma Gandhi?

Well while you're fumbling around for something that suits you , cultural tradition will out. And as soon as an atheist writes a song of healing that stirs and inspires one's *spirit* you'll have made omnii-cultural neutralism's case, but so long as the healing of a shared wounded *spirit* kind of requires something an aetheist is , how shall I put this elicately , ill-equipped to comprehend let alone address effectively , best leave things of the spirit to them that have agreed that it exists and therefore can engage in the pursuit of *communing* with it. Sorry to read that you feel your elected ideology prevents you from joining in. Who's loss this is can be debated, but not that it *is* a loss nonetheless.
