The film "Traitor"

Last night I saw the film "Traitor" with Don Cheadle. What a great film! Cheadle is fantastic. This film shows the complexities of religion and what it means to love God. In a compelling story line, we see how fundamentalism, in any religion, CAN lead to fanaticism and terrorism, but does not have to. The simple truth of the film is this: there exist in our world both Muslims and Christians who love deeply and who show great compassion for other human beings. This film is an invitation for all of us to learn and value what it means to be citizens of a global world.
