A positive story that will probably infuriate the right wing wing christian nut jobs


At the same time that Donald Trump’s calls to ban Muslims is a sign of increased Islamophobia in the country, the leadership at the Kings Bay YM-YWHA has worked to make Muslims feel welcome at the Jewish community center and its summer day camp. And the local Muslim community is increasingly happy to oblige, thanks especially to the help of one Egyptian-American family, whose four daughters all attend the camp as counselors or campers.

Great, but it may be a bit premature to call it "Enduring". Still, that's all this kind of thing takes really, just intermingled contact by average folks with no one with an agenda toward division interferring.

Didn't they intermingle in Palestine? That turned out great. To stop their racism against each other, each must give up their Yahweh and Allah identities and assimilate into the West.
