I hope you will all share the story with others. And Diane the lesson that I believe Mohamed and Samuel taught each other was as you said "love your neighbor as you love yourself," which I personally think of as the pinnacle of all Godly thoughts and action. But I'd like to add, that it wasn't so much that either had to be taught this, rather that they just had to give each other the opportunity to bring this Godly state of existence into the world.

It only bothers me that Mohamed is not credited with teaching the brothers anything other than "love your neighbor as yourself", but seemed to be a nice man (and I reserve the word "nice" for the paperboy or letter carrier) who didn't teach the brothers much, but in the end was a selfless, kind, loving man. It implies he learned all of this from the Jewish Sam. Therefore, the implication is if Arabs learned about Jews, in this case an understanding and kind Jew, there would be peace. Not all Jews are kind and understanding and not all Arabs are blessed with selflessness. This is a story from the world as it should be, not as it is, but if gives the reader much to consider.

I always say the same thing; Isaac and Ishmael.... that's where it all started... and then I add, but remember, in the end, the two brothers came together to their father's death bed...
