⁹Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called children of God.
¹⁰Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”

Can we call Muslims and Buddhists who work for peace “children of God”? How can we not?

How can we call ourselves “children of God” if we do not work for peace?

This beautiful piece came from a facebook group. It is urging everyone take a stance for peace before the Olympic Games in Beijing.

Subject: For Religious Freedom!

Dear Friends , Muslims and non-Muslims,

This group has kindly agreed to notify you on how you can help the Tibetans without leaving your computer. As you maybe know, Muslims(Uighurs) in China are very ill treated and are discriminated in several parts of China for the only reason that they believe in the Abrahamic God.

Tibetans have suffered a 50 year old occupation by the brutal regime of the Chinese Government. While the message of Compassion of H.H The Dalai Lama, head of Tibetan Buddhism, inspires millions of people from all different religions, China refuses to listen to him and keeps on torturing and killing Tibetans.

We are now 479, 842 persons who are going to light a candle for Tibet during the opening ceremony of the Olympics. You can too by registering on http://www.candle4tibet.org

Muslims from all around the world have shown support to the Dalai Lama. Notable Muslims include Muhammad Yunus and Imam Mehdi Khorasani of Marin County

and everyone please join our new group
“Muslims For The Dalai Lama”
