Who else has warm fuzzies?Religion

A Muslim Lawyer who "claims she has been meeting Lord Shiva off and on in her dreams for the past six years" has built a Hindu temple for the "libertarian" deity;

Noor Fatima, who laid the foundation for the Shiva Temple, claimed that Shiva had visited her in her dream, prompting her to build the temple. Although Fatima's faith strictly prohibits idol worship, she decided to build the temple out of respect and tolerance for Hinduism.

The paradigm of secular harmony started her project in Varanasi with a mere five thousand rupees, but others pitched in to make her dream come true.

The temple opened a few days ago (March 5) for Maha Shivratri.


P.S. Thanks Pooja, for the tip :)

It was a gut reaction to something I wouldn't put past "keepers" of either religion.
