After the recent terrorist bombings on New Year's Eve, security was high-strung. Al-Quaida, in the weeks leading up to the holidays, threatened practicing Christians in Iraq and Egypt. As a countermeasure, the Egytian government assigned heavy police details to provide tight security across the country. Many Egytian citizens have mixed opinions about Muslims, as well as Christians, but the vast majority is highly tolerate and even more accepting. Fortunately the Orthodox holiday went off without a hitch despite high levels of fear.
The idea of tolerance and acceptance is one that needs to be implanted into the heads of individuals on a global scale. Mohandas Gandhi once said, "Each one prays to God according to his own light." By practicing this quote, the world can begin to live in harmony; spread the love.
