Dear Mr Patinkin,
Season Greetings from the Land Down Under. I wanted to echo the message made above. Your comments on humanity and the need to show love and support to those vulnerable and in need were so touching and spot on. They even brought a tear to my eye. We really need to feel love and not fear to people of different backgrounds. I am very much saddened by the attitudes of our Leaders here in Australia towards asylum seekers. It is utter madness that even the party that is more 'liberal' has joined the race to the bottom in their policies re those we really need to help. My shame re this even saw me resign from my local branch of the party until they support asylum seekers. I am at least heartened, as a Religion teacher at a Catholic College, that we offer a unit on Islam and our students know the truth about true Muslims being Godly and wonderful people, our sisters and brothers. Sadly the media here is so fiercely anti-Muslim that it makes one cry. Praying for more wonderful people like you to stand up and support asylum seekers and refugees. Thank you so much for giving us hope.
