Generalizations...

The Christians presume they have it all figured out
...but they missed the Branch.
Still, the great equalization must occur, because
the Jews presumed they had it all figured out
...but they missed the Root.
And the Muslims...God told their mother who they would be
...even before the days of their great Prophet, He knew them.
But they missed Root and Branch entirely.
And so in the end, all who stand with their feet in Jerusalem can say with that country's native poet:
"In Jerusalem, everyone remembers he's forgotten something, but he doesn't remember what it is." --Yehuda Amichai
Pride makes a dark veil of forgetfulness.
