Real Life - Reality Check

A friend I follow on Twitter pointed me to this. I think its fantastic, so I wanted to share it. Since I interact with Muslims in India regularly...and think they are some of the most generous, kind, helpful and hospitable people I've ever met, I wanted to share this.

A Land Called Paradise

In a day and age where stereotypes and critiques are ruling the media, I feel this is a good alternative - a dose of reality that is being missed. It takes the discussion about ethnic relations to the next level...how am I...how are you interacting with others who are different than you? I encourage you to view some of the videos this YouTuber has uploaded. Some good stuff.  The video (link above) takes the conversation away from politics and economics to simply relating to people who are different than us who live right next door. I think this is where most of us live. For me, the issues being faced by us, normal, every-day citizens, is How are we going to interact with people on the streets, in our neighborhoods, at work and at the mall?  Yes, there are larger issues involved, but candidly speaking, I'm not involved in those arenas daily and I doubt you are either [political involvement aside]. So, keeping the conversation about our personal interaction with people who are different than us, I'm grateful for this video being out there.

Thanks for posting Murad Amayreh! ;-)
