The 10th picture had a strong impact on me. This picture of Christians protecting Muslims during their prayer was taken in Cairo, Egypt, in 2011. There had been uprisings during that time and Alexandria bombing a month before this picture was taken.
The picture in itself is quite blurry. First thing to notice are the streetlights. Because of them it can be concluded that it was a early evening at the moment. Secondly my attention concentrates on the man in front of the picture. He looks a little worried but aware of his surroundings. It makes me think that he wants to take the burden of concern so that the Muslims feel safe during their prayer.
The situation during uprisings are not calm but in this picture Christians make it possible for Muslims to concentrate on prayer. Respect towards each other is showing well in this picture. Uprisings can be seen in this picture due to placards and protestors in the background.
It's not always obvious that people representing different religions would protect each other and respect each others beliefs. This picture sends an important message to everyone who looks at it. Returning the favor, protecting Muslims' prayer and Muslims protecting Christians' Coptic churches, proves that people around the world can get along, regardless of the dissenting opinions. I think that's what makes the picture impacting.
