This year, for the first time, the region’s Muslim community is collaborating with the Jewish groups.
“There is a mandate from our holy book, the Quran, that speaks of encouraging cooperation in doing good,” said Victor Ghalib Begg, chairman of the Warren-based Council of Islamic Organizations of Michigan.
“Taking the religious mandate, it doesn’t matter who we work with.”
By working with the Jewish Community on their Mitzvah or “good deed” Day, “we achieve dual objectives: to help the Christians on Christmas, and at the same time, build friendships with our Jewish cousins,” Begg said.
This year, the Muslim community is collaborating with the Jewish community in Christmas day volunteerism efforts, but next year, it could be on its own, he said.
“Next year will be even more interesting,” he said, given that the Jewish Community will not hold its Mitzvah Days on Christmas if it falls on a Saturday, which is the Sabbath.
The Council of Islamic Organizations this year is organizing a group of about 20 to 30 Muslims to team up with nearly 900 Jewish volunteers.

CHRISTIANS ?
Yeah right. More like fundamentalists carrying signs that were hostile to Arabs and then shooting it on video to say "Aww look at us. They attacked us because we're Christian"
NO ONE IS BUYING THAT STORY ! THIS AINT 1934
They attacked them because they were disrupting their festival with hate filled rhetoric and xenophobic material on the signs they were carrying.

No serious violence....your article says. I guess concrete thrown at people's heads is mild...compared to oh I don't know, some of the strange stuff that happened at OWS rallies.
well clearly, you lack any class or finesse whatsoever but, from what i've read so far, the pigs head was DRAWN, not freshly butchered.

You are trash. You think that people can just bring a pigs head to a peaceful muslim conference, and that is ok?
and when the muslims get pissed off at the outrageous act by a bunch of attention seeking, trailer trash assholes, and throw a pepsi bottle at them, you want to talk about pressing charges?
Where are people like you arguing about this crap when im out in public? I'd love to put a beating on you. I would thoroughly enjoy it. You are whats wrong with America today.
?? was it now ?? but, i thought it was a public festival .. would you folks get a story straight, please ??

And none of them got stoned..
Maybe we should start... Wonder what you lot what say bout that!

Ok, I don't even know what to think of this one. Looks like a bunch of Christians walk into a predominately Muslim festival, if I am understanding this right, and well...watch for yourself what happens.
They get stoned, egged, bottled, and cursed at by American Muslims. The police, outnumbered by a lot, are put in the position of having to escort the Christian group out. Even though they aren't the ones throwing the stuff!
So what is right here? Who is right here? The video guy makes some excellent points like "They can't give us two officers to protect us, but they sure can get 14 to lead us out!"
But I figured this one might provide an interesting conversation piece for the political madness forum- cause this is madness, if nothing else. Both sides have a right, but the police must make decisions based on manpower... Bizarre.
:shk:

People should keep in mind it was older missionaries going after the kids, not adults. They also showed up outside of a mosque to hand out religious material in an ttempt to get people to convert. The Imam warned his group to pay attention because the missionaries were targeting the kids, not the adults.
While I dont agree with the choice of throwing water bottles, this one christian group has a history of inciting problems at events.
There were other christian groups present, with their religious material, who did just fine in their behavior and the Muslims did just fine leaving them be.edit on 27-6-2012 by Xcathdra because: (no reason given)

I mean, Jews dont eat pork aswell - they are in greater numbers, try walking to a AIPAC summit with a pork head on a stick and see what happens.

For people who said the Christians have a right to go to a Muslim festival with signs promoting their religion is like saying KKK members have the right to go to an African American festival promoting their beliefs.
Idiots.
