The group of 16 Muslims and Jews says it has been an object of curiosity on campus, as members have met together for months to plan their spring break together, beginning Sunday, to help rebuild New Orleans. But they say that what unites them is the very thing that might appear, to some, to divide them: their faiths.

Isn't it interesting that this is considered exceptional when in fact jews and moslems have been living together for over 1000 years.
It is really only because of colonialist, racist zionists from eastern european totalitarianism invading palestine - plus the blanket zionist propaganda to which americans are subjected - that there should not have been peace long ago.
If middle eastern jews, rather than racist eastern european zionists, were in charge there would be no problems.
Reflections of an Arab Jew
Religion â;; Zionism is destroying much of judaism. For Sephardic (oriental) jews, Israel does not represent aliya (ascent), but rather a yerida (descent). Oriental-Sephardic peace movements not only call for a just peace for Israelis and Palestinians, but also for the cultural, political, and economic integration of Israel/Palestine into the Middle East.

What a wonderful story! Thanks so much for posting it. That's one of the reasons why I like Propeller, there are many uplifting stories (together with the normal hate filled drivel). But this is a great story
I hope everyone gets to read the Korana of Mother Goddess, (available on Google books, Amazon and ebay) which like this article, is filled with goodness and love, there is nothing negative in it.
If I want to read negativity, I pick up a newspaper. But I know there is more news and goodness than that in the world.
Thanks again for posting this.

Don't these Muslims realize that they aren't supposed to be friends with Christians and Jews unless they want to be cut-off from Allah? IF you read Quran 3:28, a Muslim can only SAY he's the friend of Christians and Jews IF in his heart, he doesn't really mean it.

A great story. Not just great but encouraging. See what happens when U keep the psycho radicals out and just let people get along. I'm sure every radical muslim will blow himself up when he reads this. Well I hope so at least.
