Islamicizing Christmas?
Illustration
From the December 16, 2006
edition of the
Tennessean:
Gov. Phil Bredesen [Democrat, Tennessee] has given an unusual twist to his family's Christmas card: He is marking a Christian holiday with a card depicting a Muslim girl.
The card's cover is a print of a painting by the governor of a young woman he met when he toured Afghanistan in March.
The following is the complete text of the card, from
this source:
I met the teenage girl depicted in this painting in March of this year at a primitive school on the Shamali Plains Road outside of Kabul, Afghanistan.
Until recently, under the Taliban, education was forbidden to her. She is now learning to read, and on the day I visited, was studying geography.
While it may seem odd to put a portrait of a young Muslim woman on a Christmas card, this Season reminds us that He loves His children most of all.
May the miracle of Christmas help bring peace and hope to this young woman and her wounded land.
What is Governor Bredesen's intended message?...
READ THE REST.
