But it’s important that we also show our appreciation for living in a country that Obama described as “one of the largest Muslim nations in the world” where people who offend Islamic theocracy get sentenced to a mere one year in prison.Read more here: http://frontpagemag.com/2012/dgreenfield/egypt-sentences-mo-filmmaker-to-death-obama-sentenced-him-to-only-one-year/Can we conceive of any other Muslim leader showing such generosity and tolerance as to sentence a man who offended his faith to only one year in prison, without any additional beheadings or mutilations?
Obama may be a terrible leader by American standards, but compared to Assad, Erdogan, Morsi, Ahmadinejad and Karzai, he’s really not so bad.
This blog is looking for wisdom, to have and to share. It is also looking for other rare character traits like good humor, courage, and honor. It is not an easy road, because all of us fall short. But God is love, forgiveness and grace. Those who believe in Him and repent of their sins have the promise of His Holy Spirit to guide us and show us the Way.
