To the editor:

Love thy neighbor as thyself … why is it that the world can’t seem to figure that out? What’s sad to think about is that Americans talk about the fact that Islamic extremists are the focus of the War on Terror when the KKK still exists in America!

I’m a Catholic, and I think that really when it comes down to it, it is all doctrinal when finding a difference between religions. Jesus was sent here to emphasize the need to obey the word of God, and the Word is good and brings people together instead of tearing them down. Muhammad was given a promise by God and the Word from God, and it is written in the text of the Quran if you take a look. There is not much difference in the message of the books!

Everyone needs to read all the pages in each book, not just focus on what sounds good. Everyone who reads this, you have an assignment. I want you to write down this quote and incorporate it in your everyday life: “I shall pass this way but once; any good, therefore, that I can do or any kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do it now. Let me not defer nor neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.”

Everyone needs to start with a new slate, even the people that hurt you. Give your peace to the world! Let that be the New American Frontier.
