Now consider the unmediated demonstration of communion driving the 'I'll ride with you' hashtag.

Left, right, wrong...can all be ghettos if we fail to build bridges with the materials of our common humanity. I loved the sentiment "I'll ride with you" so moved I'm writing a song about it called "my brothers keeper".

Human beings are tribal and territorial, Mr interestedperson. It's in our DNA. Birds of a feather just keep flocking together, regardless of what humanitarian idealists dream about. And birds of a feather really don't like it when birds of a different feather invade their territory.

interestedperson,

We can solve all the problems by all becoming Muslims.

Quite easy and painless:
"How to Convert to Islam - The Testimony of Faith (Shahada)

Becoming a Muslim is a simple and easy process. All that a person has to do is to say a sentence called the Testimony of Faith (Shahada), which is pronounced as:

I testify “La ilaha illa Allah, Muhammad rasoolu Allah.”

These Arabic words mean, “There is no true god (deity) but God (Allah), and Muhammad is the Messenger (Prophet) of God.” Once a person says the Testimony of Faith (Shahada) with conviction and understanding its meaning, then he/she has become a Muslim.

The first part, “There is no true deity but God,” means that none has the right to be worshipped but God alone, and that God has neither partner nor son. The second part means that Muhammad was a true Prophet sent by God to humankind.

To be a Muslim, one should also:

- Believe that the Holy Quran is the literal word of God, revealed by Him.

- Believe that the Judgment Day (Resurrection Day) is true and will come.

- Believe in the prophets that God sent and the books He revealed, and in His angels.

- Accept Islam as his/her religion.

- Not worship anything nor anyone except God.

It is that easy! ...."
