Utah may be beyond the normal in its care for the Afghan refugees. I can cite three ways:
1.) There was a vigil a week ago at Murray Park for the refugees. Was wonderful. Muslims and their Christian friends here in Salt Lake City gathered to pray. Was interesting. Muslims sometimes reject praying to the Christian God, but they were very accepting at the vigil.
2.) Utah would be one of only 19 (I believe it is 19) places in the U.S. where the refugees are sent , if Washington accepts Utah's offer to resettle some of the refugees here.
3.) Gov. Cox has urged support for the refugees. One wonders how many other state governors have stepped forward urging citizens to support the refugees.
