Buddhist:
Expressions of gratitude to pay back the kindness from the Buddhas whose words open the doorway to liberation, to the moms for his or her never-ending love, and also to our opponents for assisting us in developing persistence:
What strategy is there to pay back the Buddhas
Who grant immeasurable benefit
And who befriend the planet without pretension
Apart from by pleasing sentient beings?

Getting observed that the doorway to any or all good characteristics
May be the considered to place all valued moms in happiness,
Even when others rise as my enemy
May I be fortunate to cherish them greater than my existence.

For he assists me within my conduct of awakening.
And since I can practice persistence with him

The initial fruits of my persistence,
For in this manner he’s the reason for it.

Catholic:
The Eucharist is really a sacrifice of thanksgiving towards the Father, a blessing through which the Church expresses her gratitude to God for those his benefits, for those he has accomplished through creation, redemption, and sanctification. Eucharist means to begin with ‘thanksgiving.’ ”(The Catechism from the Catholic Church)

Collect:
Father all-effective, your gifts of affection are numerous as well as your goodness infinite once we come before you decide to on Thanksgiving Day with gratitude for the kindness, open our hearts to possess concern for each man, lady, and child, to ensure that we might share your gifts in loving service.

Jewish:
In Judaism, Thanksgiving doesn’t just come annually. It’s every single day. Actually, three occasions each day we anchor our hopes with benefits of thanksgiving. For Jews, to wish in serious needs a heart open in gratitude. For connecting with God would be to recognize that we’re provided using more than we are able to ever need within this existence. In Hebrew, we refer to this as fullness of heart “Hakarat HaTov,” or “Recognizing the great.” When God produced the planet, God known as it “very good.” Our responsibility would be to begin our spiritual existence by having an abiding feeling of that goodness on a daily basis. The next prayer in the ‘Amidah, the Standing Prayer of 19 benedictions that people recite morning, noon, and night, captures this experience:
“We thanks that you’re Adonai goodness and God in our ancestors throughout in history. You’re the Rock in our lives, the Shield in our salvation in each and every generation. We thanks and speak your praises for the lives which are inside your hands, for the souls which are inside your charge, for the miracles which are around, as well as for Your wonders as well as your gifts which are around whatsoever times—evening, morning, and noon. You’re good since your empathy never ceases You’re compassionate since your kindness never ends. You’ve always directed our hearts toward You. For those these benefits we shall ever praise and exult Your Company Name. May every living being thank and praise You in reality, God in our deliverance which help. Fortunate are you currently Adonai, whose Name is Goodness, for you it’s happy to thank”
— Gil Steinlauf is senior rabbi at Adas Israel Congregation in D.C.

Reform in 21st-Century Islam and Beyond with Salam Al-Marayati and Dennis Prager
COMMENTS:
Thomas K: A great interview. Thank you Mr. Prager and Mr. Al-Marayati, and to the moderator and Claremont University.
Pedo phile Muhammad: Islamic reformation is simply not possible. The reason is that a devout Muslim will always start looking for the "authentic" teachings of Muhammad. As soon as he does that he will discover the degenerate teachings Muhammad, which of course are exceptionally evil (examples of Muhammad were also evil: banditry, rape, pedophilia, torture, murder and genocide). This cannot be compared to reformation in Christianity, where "bad" things were swept aside and people just concentrated on Teachings of Jesus. Jesus never committed a single crime or engage in violence.
I05151942: The guy on the left didn't answer a simple question on 45:10. So I guess I'll answer it: The world would be kinder if Arabs converted to Christianity as opposed to the contrary. \nThe fact that he couldn't answer that question says a lot more than his platitudes.
Conservative Guy: yeah im not worried about Christians blowing me up or attacking me on behalf of their religion. only islam.
Paula Feudo: An Islamist can sit with a straight face, and issue forth flowery confirmations on their religion and Sharia Law, because in their heritage it is a given that 'lies' are always permissible in the context of 'any means to an end'…Birds of a feather flock together in religious modalities. The reform can only happen when children, from youth, are not taught to memorize hatred, torture, and torment, toward different beliefs, and refrain from control of the female in their communities so that these attitudes can die-off.
The Prophet: He sees common ground between Islam and secularism. \nDennis is right, it's utterly pointless to even talk to this guy.
Barbara Miller: It's so nice to see people with maybe different views speaking and acting like humans to each other
bonedoc: the guy on the left is a soft spoken apologist for terror. if he's believes Israel is pushing the palestinians into the sea, than it's the most failed ongoing genocide in history. not to mention Zero of Israels leaders have ever said that, compared to the thousands of occurrences genocidal statements made by palestinians and muslims the world over. its a moral inversion of the worst kind
Heather Watson: When it comes to the hijab, the veil, and for that matter, the burqa, it is irrelevant which people of the world started it. There have been veils worn by women for thousands of years. These things are borrowed and become a tradition in certain religions. Symbolic fasting does not originate in Islam but it has become a part of Islamic culture in Ramadan.
Conservative Guy: Iraq is the Babylon of old. Throughout all of recorded history civilized societies have had to fight off the barbarian hordes. Only now do we ask the heathen why he rages and offer ourselves up on a silver platter for the slaughter.
The Prophet: There is nothing good that Islam ever brought to this world.\nYou have nothing to be proud of and you need a bit of humility.\nYou wouldn't be able to have this conversation anywhere in the Muslim world.\nRespect is earned, not demanded.
The Prophet: Pure taqiyya mr Marayati.\nOr delusional wishful thinking.
Veritas Splendor: No matter who these apologist are, their main objective is to sanitise islam
