Luis says in his chapter 9 blog that " it was nice to see a change once in awhile where history was not about fighting. The fact that every color was represented through the pilgrimmage makes it that much more special." I must agree that anytime there is minimal to no fighting that it is a nice thing to read or hear. Most of history has been built on fights though. Whether it be territorial one s or religious ones. The gathering of so many ethnicities at Mecca is a mazing but it is the bad Muslims that have left such a bad image in the mids of many when they think about Muslims. The attack on he twin towers rocked the world and especially this country and the label attached to it was Muslim, therefore Islam. These were men attcking on their own interpretation of what they believed their God wanted them to do. Silly. Though as an American I must admit I was not happy at first and blamed all Muslims but then realized that most are faithful kind people that would never wish this upon anyone. Those who acted on their own will get no love from their God when their time comes because their God will ask them what were you thinking. Hopefully this country and others can see that Islam is aniother religion, just like Christiaqnity and Buddhism that has its rules and its Gods and menas no harm to others. Again anytime there is no fighting is a good time.
