Tekhe Arabi?

“Tekhe Arabi?”

“No”

“Why not?”

“Because I’m Greek.”

“Oh… I thought you were Arabic because of your [points to her face with her finger and makes a circle]“.

“No, just a Greek Muslim.”

This happened to me today.  Should be no surprise, it happens way too often. Judgment — shock — confusion.  They can’t come to grips with Greeks being Muslim but actually, the number of Greek Muslims is rising and rising.  Christianity is failing Greeks by the thousands and thousands, many just become agnostics or atheists and some research other religions to find the truth.

I invite you to make a promise to open your mind and search for the truth.  Before you do this, please first get rid of judgments that you’ve been raised with about other people and cultures.  The answers are in the scriptures, not the people.  Because the scriptures is where God’s guidance is. Just make a promise now to God. 

Say in sincerity, “O God, lead me to the true path.”
