Shah in Street - or is it Shahin Street?

GlobalChristian intern Stacey Pistritto alerted me to this cool travel blog through the Middle East by her friend Ryan who wrote it last year. Moving stuff in this entry from Israel/Palestine in November 2005, before Israel's campagin in Lebanon:

"Every step is a political statement in the land with no name. A new man of Galilee changes my life. The old one becomes commercialized, fake, enshrined in incense and tourist sweat. The new man is about life-is about humanity-is about loving your enemies. Religion is a tool, not a slave-driver. The human in the uniform is still a human. The human from a different ethnicity is still a human."
