Sign of Our Times

I'm casting about for organizations in the city which focus on Jewish-Muslim dialogue and peace. I want to get involved.

Anyway, I came across one Muslim pro-peace site which has a banner which is both very sad and rather wryly funny in a dark, horrible way. It's definitely a sign of our times.

You can see it within its context by clicking the title of this blog, but here is the text of the banner below:

*****************
General Disclaimer
Whatever act of Violence has just taken place, we deplore it.

***********************

It's the site of the Muslim Peace Fellowship, "a gathering of peace and justice-oriented Muslims of all backgrounds who are dedicated to making the beauty of Islam evident in the world."
