Ya ya ya, I know. I'm all inspiring this week. Call it a mood, call it an influx of stuff I want to support. Whatever. I like this.

It's a photo taken in Egypt during the protests that ended last week. During one of the demonstrations, Egyptian Muslims were called to prayer and in an effort to protect them, Egyptian Christians formed a human sheild in a ring around them.

I'm a sucker for religious tolerance. And even though I consider myself a pretty religious Christian, I think that tolerance and acceptance is at the core of my beliefs.

Reblogged from Falling Whistles - Solidarity. I did not take this picture, nor do I know who did. I just know that I like it.
