American gospel musician, Kirk Franklin, has countered President Donald Trump over his purported ban on Muslims from the country. Trump had started preventing Muslims from entering the United States as a way of stopping terrorism from gaining more grounds in the country, and this has attracted a lot of reactions from people within and outside the American territory.
Kirk Franklin believes instead of sending the people away, the president should call them to a table and sit with them to eat.
He tweeted:
I am a Christian who would rather sit at the table with a Muslim brother than ban him from a home that wasn’t originally mine…

Using God as their defense and attacking my theology for using the word “brother” to define my relationship with someone different than me-

It was a term of endearment. But because we have been fed fear we’re quick to react and not give grace to each other.

We need an international class on communication and agreeing to disagree without attacking character. This can’t continue…

Everyone will lose. No one wins when the agenda is to be right. I don’t know everything..no one does. But pride will kill this country..
