I wasn't there. But, I've now seen the video. And I'm concerned that this is the image that many persons in the world have of Christianity. Yelling. Even throwing small cross, apparently, at the feet of a praying Muslim man.
I don't know the back story.
I don't know all that took place before this.
This is a video without much context.
However, I am concerned that (with the media coming in to assist us), THIS is how many persons, particularly young adults, view Christianity.
Actually, as I watch it again it made me wonder what Jesus would have felt like with the crowd yelling at him and closing in on him.
Interesting that it's the Muslim man who represents Christ as my thoughts go this way....
Hmmm....
