AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL: Muslims, Presbyterians amicably resolve Easter egg crisis

Could not find the thread this should go under, so here it is. Wonderful news.

Together with the Muslim leaders, Cherry Hill Presbyterian’s pastor, Neeta Nichols, denounced Moughni’s complaint about the Easter egg hunt. Nichols and the Muslim leaders also urged area Muslims to come to the Eggstravaganza!” and have their children participate.

The Muslim delegation donated $500 to the church. The money will go toward the purchase of even more eggs.

When I constantly hear how bad Muslums are, not speaking out, anti this and that, this article put down the crit's against them. Really nice to hear some good news!

The press likes to blow stuff completely out of proportion to sell newspapers. (I live in Detroit on the boarder with Dearborn.) Detroit newspapers are known for doing that.
The public schools in Dearborn accommodate situations related to Ramadan, so I don't see anything wrong with them allowing advertising for the Easter egg event.
I agree with this from the article:
Local Muslims took to social media by the hundreds to condemn his puzzling stance against Easter egg hunts for kids—and to condemn the Detroit Free Press for publishing what they viewed as a misleading article in the first place.

Chrystal-J, it is good to have them outed. To many Americans have heard nothing but negatives. Hearing some positive is good good good. God bless

Well this is good to hear.

Glad I could clear that up for you.
The Detroit News and Free Press newspapers are turning into the National Enquirer with their sensationalized over-the-top articles. It got to where I couldn't even read them anymore because they were writing articles about the bankruptcy that were blatantly intended to scare people into buying the paper--to read the rest of the article. They'll have a screaming headline that says we will no longer have a water department or most police are quitting to leave the state. It's really 'yellow journalism' at it's worst.
I learned from the Free Press/News not to take public papers/news stations at face value--I limit what I watch/read now.
