Here is a video from my visit to the Taj Mahal. It is a mausoleum and an excellent example of Muslim architecture. #India#TajMahal#worldreligions#Islam
Indeed, the Talmud records numerous opinions on many issues, often without settling it. In one passage, God addresses a debate and says both opinions are the word of God, before declaring which view is right. The point is it sanctified the minority voice as having validity.

Today, #Vaisakhi, is celebrated by #Hindus and #Sikhs…but this day also commemorates the British massacre of unarmed civilians at #JallianwalaBagh in 1919. The slaughter led India’s leaders to commit firmly to independence and expelling the British.
