While Islamaphobia and religious intolerance is sweeping the nation, Pastor Steve Stone of the Heartsong Church in Memphis demonstrated what Christ might have done in a similar situation, by demonstrating how to "Love Your Neighbor".
The pastor put up a large banner proclaiming: "Heartsong Church welcomes Memphis Islamic Center to the neighborhood."
Dr. Bashar Shala, of the Islamic Center, was overwhelmed by the reception. The sign was only the start of a close relationship that formed between the two religious communities. Heartsong eventually decided to let the Islamic Center use their hall while building a new facility.
