I went through the comment section and I’m legit scared for our mentality in this country. People saying “Mine would have even thrown it away” “give to the dogs”.....when my neighbors bring Christmas food over I feast.

This just got me thinking If some of the people I took the stress to package and deliver food to this Sallah did the same cas it’ll be sad.

My grandmother hires cooks to come make food on Sallah day jst to share to Christians in her neighborhood, a tradition my mom also picked...we’ve always down this nd our neighbors often reciprocate when it’s Christmas which is a good thing. Strengthens relationship and acceptance

On Christmas Day I’m often looking Forward to the food people bring over, not because we don’t have food in our own house or I can’t go out and buy what we they’ll bring for us.....I don’t ever think my neighbor will plan out to harm us. That mentality is sad!

Just imagine all this yarns and no one saw anything wrong with it

I guess the way everyone is brought up to accept on another’s religion is different. I’m a Muslim, my parents took me to nd my siblings to a catholic primary school (St Joseph) we were made to participate in every religious activities they did, we participated & learnt from them

We were made to buy these catholic books we read on the assembly, my parents knew this and gave us money for it. We took the good message and morals from what we were thought and still went home and said our salat.
Participanting in their activities didn’t deter our own faith...

It thought us about theirs and at the end of the day every religion is preaching the same message. Doing good deeds.

I hope this mentality end with your parents, you’re now responsible for the mentality your kids grow up with.

One last thing, this is not perculiar to Christians only, I know some Muslims do it too and I’m addressing everyone that does. It’s a shitty mindset please don’t attach meaning into everything.

Back in the catholic school I attended, on Ash Wednesday/Friday....

They use ash to draw cross on our foreheads on the assembly, I often see some other Muslim kids quickly cleaning it off after. I never attached much meaning to it, I leave it on till it wears off...some times i go home with some still left on my head

I can’t remember my mother scolding me for not cleaning it off or coming home with it. I’ll still wash up nd say my prayer as a Muslim. Some spiritual force didn’t overcome me nd sway me to abandon my faith cas of it.

We need to stop attaching meaning to certain things and learn

Acceptance, both Muslims and Christians. We both have shitty people from both religion and equally good people.
