Irrascible and Irreconcilable, Both
Posted by Melvin Bray on January 7th, 2010 filed in Useful PerhapsSojo was kind enough yet again to post an article from me. I’m critiquing the language being used by Christians in the public square to perpetuate a senseless fight with Muslims. Here’s a highlight (actually the first part of the quote was edited out):
“Imagine you and I meeting somewhere, and I insist on calling you “George” (provided your name isn’t), and then I proceed to talk among my friends about you―your beliefs, motivations, hang ups―though we’ve never met before. How long would it take you to resent me?… Why can’t we listen to our Muslim countrymen and -women for the language by which to designate the radicals who defame their beautiful religion? That’s not a matter of political correctness… it’s the Golden Rule.”
The article was posted in two parts―Part A, Part B. Please check it out, and join the conversation!
