She can’t go off spouting her views she’s worried about the safety of her family. God forgive you for your harsh judgment of this young family just trying to survive. I support Ukraine 100% but I don’t support bullies especially someone speaking against a young family who has had to leave and are seeking Family stability and safety. We will be judged when we stand before God at the same measure we judge others be careful.

    I am awed by the amazing tile work on these buildings - the craftsman - wow. When I think of how they built and decorated these huge buildings back then, without any modern tools etc. All those tiles placed one at a time and done perfectly to make the beautiful patterns. Then I think about making the tiles and decorating them - also one at a time - all done perfectly. Thank you for taking us to see this.

      Hello, I am from Uzbekistan, we have 90% Muslims and the rest Christians, Jewish, and have been living together in peace for hundreds of years! I personally being raised have never seen anyone under pressure because of their religion except Muslims! Muslims are not allowed to go to school with hair closed in Uzbekistan until today, and Muslim girls cant go to university to get higher degree if they wear 🧕 hijab! So are teachers! Also men can’t grow beard 🧔🏻‍♂️ if they work for government! Muslims children before 16 are not allowed by government’s unwritten rules into mosques!!! All is by government’s unwritten rules! Only Muslims feel the pressure. Bu people are very kind to everyone. I growing up played with christianc jewish, muslim kids. We were neighbors, and people are very truly friendly. They help each other, uzbeks are very hospitable. They never treat anyone rude. I moved to US when I was 20.
