The Media is Ruining Our Prejudices...
Posted February 03, 2010
By power2worship,
I sat in on a live web-stream/interview last week with Ted and Carl at The World Prayer Center as they talked about "Tea With Hezbollah" and I had my eyes opened to just how prejudice I really am towards Muslims and extremists. The main problem is the media which I have let corrupt my understand of third-world countries. I have let the media make me think that all Muslims are corrupt and that "these people" are all our enemies. INCORRECT and UNTRUE.
First off, don't categorized Muslims as "these people" as this creates an unfair classification of people that are not all bad. There are plenty of peaceful, loving, and honest Muslims in the world today that are against the terror that we see in our world today. Secondly, the only difference between our beliefs is the Jesus portion of our stories. Jesus is the Messiah in our story. To Muslims, Jesus was just a good prophet who has wonderful teachings to follow.
I was also encouraged to know that Ted and Carl were willing to take the message of "Love your enemies and do good to those who hurt you" to other nations and cultures with a heart of love to see how they can help us understand them better. You will love this book because of the story-telling mentalities that both Ted and Carl have.
I'm skipping way to many details in this review because I don't want to ruin the book for you. The stories in this book will challenge you and open your eyes to what is really happening in the world today that the news is NOT telling us. Again, information that the news is NOT telling us.
