I don't know to what extent, if any, Mohammed's religious beliefs influenced his decision to help Jessica. But I do know this: by his actions, this Iraqi Muslim proved himself a better neighbor to Jessica and a better Christian than many who profess to follow Christ while preaching a gospel of hate toward people like Mohammed.

This seems to be like we all know that the democrats are dragging the liberals to the right. There may be an exception here and there, but the reality is where is the outrage within their own groups? You need to explain that.

Also, I don't think too many Christians were there to help the poor girl for you to disqualify Christians to care for her safety as you seem to slant it. That seems uncharacteristic of you.

I think the answer to your question might lie in the fact that there are over a million Iraqi exiles, but no Iraqi dissidents. I'd say the lack of *apparent* outrage might have something to do with gouged-out eyes, gang rapes of female relatives, including infants, and putting people in plastic shredders. Did such a society fail to produce even one Solzhenitsyn or were they exterminated before their testimony could be heard?

There was a similar lack of apparent outrage over the Holocaust. When the footage of the concentration camps was released, some dismissed it as a hoax. Others suspected something amiss, but failed to comprehend the enormity of the horror.

Also, I don't think too many Christians were there to help the poor girl for you to disqualify Christians to care for her safety as you seem to slant it.

I was not painting with so broad a brush. My comparison was between this Muslim who put his life in grave danger to help a stranger and a cadre of self-professed Christians who bash Muslims on this forum 24/7, most of whom were conspicuously MIA on this thread.
