Globalized Golden Rule
With a small amount of research, or some honest soul searching, we can discover that others whom we often demonize are an awful lot like us.  Check out this short list of the major world religions and you will see that the Muslim and Christian, Hindu and Jew, all share the same core belief in the Golden Rule.
Before you escape back to more familiar ground with ‘but we live it and they don’t’ just think for a moment.  It is more likely the case that we all struggle to engage with love, with varying degrees of success in each of us, in communities where some are loving our neighbors and others are not, but we are all in communities that identify the Golden Rule as the core aspiration of a well-lived life.
