Islam

Promoting inter-religious
understanding and friendship:

A comment by Iranian-American author, commentator and religious scholar Reza Aslan, which is worth repeating and remembering:

"Islam doesn't promote violence or peace.
Islam is just a religion.
And like every religion in the world, it depends on what you bring to it.
If you are a violent person, your Islam, your Judaism, your Christianity, your Hinduism is going to be violent."

Reza Aslan has written at least three books on religion:

• "Beyond Fundamentalism: Confronting Religious Extremism in the Age of Globalization, (2010). Read reviews or order this book safely from Amazon.com online book store

When I viewed this video for the first time, I must have been distracted because I missed the key component of the story: the surprise and pleasure experienced by each of them when they opened their cartons from Amazon. It appears that both had bought a set of knee pads as a surprise gift for the other.
