On the way home this evening I was captivated by a new show carried on Mississippi Public Broadcasting...The Story. Host Dick Gordon was interviewing Moez Masoud, a television and radio host in Egypt. Masoud has garnered quite a following of youth who are seeking a contemporary, yet authentic, Islamic witness to the world. He believes their faith does not have to be what he calls "angry Islam." Rather, it can help them, even with tough issues like extramarital sex and homosexuality. Click on Moez Masoud's picture below to listen to the show.
I was amazed to hear Masoud speak of his experience of faith and renewal in terms that are very familiar to my personal journey with Christ. Perhaps listening to each other does not mean we will necessarily find agreement, but we could find understanding, friendship, and peace. I am glad that there are organizations like the Mississippi Religious Leadership Conference to help that happen, too!
