No, it's not a joke. It's our local three wise guys, Iman Muhammad Musri, Rabbi Steven Engel and The Reverend Bryan Fulwider. They have a local radio show on NPR on Sunday nights.
In it they do not scream obscenities at each other as you might think they would (or should.) They laugh a lot, learn from each other and help us learn more about these three major religions of the world.
Dave and I heard them speak at our Act II program yesterday. They were attractive, funny, self effacing scholars, and obviously good friends.
Of course the question got asked that always gets asked when they're out and about. This time it was asked by a kind and thoughtful engineering professor:
Why don't Muslim leaders around the world denounce the atrocities committed by ISIS and others? The answer is they do.
I've seen Iman Musri answer this question several times. Each time he is patient, kind, thoughtful and thorough in his response.
The Three Wise Guys believe in civility. As you know, civility is big with me. I think it's possible with husbands and wives, nation and nation and every person and group in between.
I think it's what will bring about Shalom!
