Amazon Prime's new Christmas advert is making everyone teary-eyed.

The ad opens with an imam paying a visit to a priest at his home, where the two enjoy warm conversation over a cup of tea. Both complain about their bad knees, and when their chit-chat comes to an end, they reach for their phones to order knee braces as a surprise present for each other.

Watch the ad here:

The ad stresses not only the values of friendship and interfaith harmony, but also the similarity between Islam and Christianity.

This Amazon Prime ad is thus crafted to counter the current political climate of the USA, as the newly elected American president Donald Trump's anti-Muslim rhetoric makes the US Muslim community vulnerable to discrimination and attacks

The message resonated with a lot of people:

Whenever, wherever people who uphold their faiths sincerely and truthfully come together, they will always be in a state of cordiality, love respect and thus peace.

That is what faith teaches us respect each other and love each other the way they are . We have survived together for generations and that is what we need to show younger generations that little courtesy toward a human being goes far

It's not the religion that causes the problem but the embedded perceptions of the bigots and uneducated.

A must ad, need of the time. Majority wants this but why a minority of satans still dominates.

No Muslim, Christian or Jews should be punished just due to their faith. Crime is crime and every criminal should be punished irrespective of faith. this is the only way forward Mr. Trump. Keep justice equal for everyone and see its fruits in every society
