The best weapon against violence is to learn to cultivate love.  Perhaps this helps explain why all faiths are trying to get us to open our hearts.  To open our hearts as a community, we need to find ways to amplify joy and come together more often to reduce fear.  In addition, it helps to treat people as human beings first and avoid using labels, which are often used to exclude.  As we mature spiriturally, we will learn to see what we have in common with others instead of finding our differences.
