He doesn’t live next door, but Eboo Patel is definitely my neighbor.
In a day and time when many people – Christians included – deride and demonize Muslim people and Islamic faith, Eboo is a great example of how wrong it is to judge others on what we think we know about them.
One reason Jesus commanded us to “love neighbor” must certainly be that loving someone requires us to get to know them.
Do yourself a favor. Get to know my neighbor, Eboo Patel…
This is a wonderful way to know one another. Our lives are informed by the works of others. Eboo Patel is my neighbor now too. Thank you for sharing.
