While religious differences are leading to deadly outcomes around the world, from Islamophobic hate crimes in the West to the murder of Christians in Egypt, a family in the latter is rising above such differences and teaching the world a lesson in coexistence.

The family consists of a Jewish mother, a Christian step-father, and two Muslim daughters, all living under the same roof.

The mother, Magda Haroun, head of the Jewish community in Egypt, explained how the family came about in a recent interview with Al-Hurra TV.

The family is the only one of its kind in the country to have believers of three different religions living together, according to Haroun.
