Mosque Burnt Down, Jews Handed Over Keys To Their Synagogue

Story like this does not get highlighted enough, especially during the hate-filled and hateful period since the US Presidential election.

The mosque/Islamic center in the small town of Victoria, TX burnt down under suspicious circumstances earlier this month, right after the President signed the travel ban executive order. This story would have ended there if it were for the generous and kind folks of the Temple Bnai Israel.

"We have probably 25 to 30 Jewish people in Victoria, and they probably have 100 Muslims. We got a lot of building for a small amount of Jews."

One of the mosque's founders, Shahid Hashmi, said: "Jewish community members walked into my home and gave me a key to the synagogue."

There are A LOT of lessons to be learned here. Boys and girls, if you want to promote whatever it is that you believe in, and show to the world how wonderful it is, nothing can be better than showing us your best feature dressed in your best outfit. This is what those people at Temple Bnai Israel have done. They not only reveal to the world how kind and generous they are, but also on the nature of their beliefs and practices.

If you want to sabotage and ruin the reputation of your beliefs, then you form something like ISIS or the Westboro Babtist Church. There's no quicker way to destroy the good name of your belief than to act that dumb.
