San Diego Muslims Bring Message of Peace to Border Church Service
By Manuel Ocaño
A group of Muslims from San Diego joined the Border Church, that meets every Sunday in the Friendship Park between Imperial Beach and Tijuana Beaches, as a gesture of unity and peace.
Some of the Muslims stated that they chose to cross the border and join the Christian parishioners on the Mexican side of the border because it reinforces a feeling of unity.
Sonia García, of the Latina Muslim Foundation of San Diego, said in Spanish that, “when we stop judging and pointing each other out, regardless of religious beliefs, skin color, or our origin, we are unity that means the collapse of any wall”.
Facebook Inc said on Thursday that it was referring its decision to indefinitely suspend the accounts of former United States President Donald Trump to its independent oversight board.
Trump will remain suspended while the board, a recently created body that can overrule the company’s decisions on content, reviews the decision.
Facebook blocked Trump’s access to his Facebook and Instagram accounts over concerns of further violent unrest following the January 6 storming of the US Capitol by the former president’s supporters.
“I’m very confident of our case,” Facebook’s head of global affairs, Nick Clegg, told Reuters news agency. “I’m very confident that any reasonable person looking at the circumstances in which we took that decision and looking at our existing policies will agree.”
