Iraqis cheer as Southern Baptist volunteers distribute food
The headline pretty well says it all...but you might want to read the whole story anyway.
A sample:
Although few people in the community spoke English, they understood who was bringing the food.
One man said it was the Christians from America bringing us food. 'Where are the Muslims?' the man asked," said volunteer Doug Wells, a sales analyst with a major baking company in Winston-Salem. "It struck me that the people realize we're trying to help them. And we're trying to show them the love of Christ."
...
Some food boxes were distributed through Muslim mosques, which function as community centers. One mosque leader said the mosque maintains a list of needy families and delivered food to those. He knows many families whose men died in Iraq's wars.

I'm sure this was reported in the "mainstream" media and I just missed it.
