Muslims who saved Jews from Holocaust commemorated in I Am Your Protector campaign

Organised by I Am Your Protector (IAYP) - who describe themselves as “a community of people who speak up and stand up for each other across religion, race, gender and beliefs” – the group is attempting to highlight the, often forgotten, stories of Muslims who helped Jews during one of history’s deadliest genocides.

Very cool. These people, of all faiths, need to continue to be remembered for their efforts.

As an unfortunate of a scenario as it is, the old saying of "A common enemy makes Brothers of us all" definitely holds some truth.

It's unfortunate that we can't have a scenario like that simply for the sake of being good people when there isn't a "common enemy" present.

You're right, no scenarios ever exists where people are good people without a common enemy.

lol, well they do...but typically not between people who are on polar opposite sides of an ideological fence.

For example, us and the Russians during WW2...would the two nations even be giving each other the time of day if it weren't for the common hatred of nazi Germany at the time?

Anyone who stood against the insanity of Hitler and worked to save those he hoped to exterminate are hero's eternally. Great post.

I love seeing things like this. It is a refreshing contrast to the "they're all evil" rhetoric I sometimes hear. One of them warm and squishy stories!!!

It seems all of us get defined by the worst of us.

Good post.
Are you familiar with the OT story of Isaac/Israelites and Ishmael/Islam? They were both brothers, sons of Abraham but born from 2 different women.

Gen 17:20
“And as for Ishmael, I have heard you. Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly.
He shall beget twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation.

Gen 25:9
And Isaac and Ishmael, his sons, bury him at the cave of Machpelah, at the field of Ephron, son of Zoar the Hittite, which is before Mamre --


1Ch 1:28
Sons of Abraham: Isaac and Ishmael.
