A note from a Jew !
--------------------
For the last year, I have been participating in Rehan Allahwalas 500 shared friends project, at the behest of Shmuel Aharon Kam, who Ive known for over 20 years now. The idea is to befriend on Facebook a *lot* of people from other (even opposite) parts of the world, focusing on meeting people "of the book" and learning about their concerns and cultures.
I have my own rules in place, because there are far more men participating than women, that I will largely befriend women without an introductory PM and that men, by and large, Im more picky about befriending. That said, I have been pleasantly surprised at how moderate and even liberal many of my new (largely Pakistani) friends are, and how open they are not only to change on a global scale but change at home.
By and large, we have the same concerns. We want our children to have opportunities. We want the poor in our communities to be cared for. We want our countries free from foreign oppression. We want peace.
In my opinion, a Donald Trump presidency is a *global* threat to all of those things. Please think carefully before saying or doing *anything* that makes that more likely. Yes, hold Hilarys feet to the fire on the issues that are important to you. But right now, in the run up to the election, vote for the greater good, and speak up for it ... not the perfect, but the perfectable.
