My daughter, Hannah, majored in Anthropology and Sociology, with a minor in Islamic Studies ... 

She had some amazing professors, and learned so much about the Muslim faith outside of the daily news cycle and the histrionics of the media.

In many ways, Muslims and Christians have more in common than we know ... mainly, that we are human beings, all trying to figure out how to live.

Hannah sent me this post yesterday and I thought I would share it with you ...

Mainly because it is really good, but also because it is humble and right to learn from people outside our normal circle of influence.

It is almost a form of "hospitality."
