I was sitting behind my screen. Wrote "Islam" on google, clic on the first site : http://www.islam-online.net/english/index.shtml The main page shows the news of the day, um I think it is pretty bad, maybe more today, maybe for a long time I then choosed "Interfaith" I found something interesting I would like to show you: Muslims, Christians 'Should Know' Each Other The communiqué is read by Ibrahim Al-Rabo, a member of the organizing committee of the forum TRIPOLI, September 23 (Lita'rafu) – Common moral values adopted by Islam and Christianity reject violence, extremism and collective punishment, said the final communiqué of the international forum of "Lita'rafu" ended here on September 22.The participants agreed on "asserting the adherence to the culture of TA’ARUF between people on the basis of Christian and Islamic spiritual values and the exalted human principles which are in accordance with the rule of respecting man whom God has honored," read the communiqué.A bid to close ranks among different religions, the communiqué asserted the fact that ignoring the other contradicts with those religious values which constitute a fundamental pillar of the faith in heavenly religions Islam and Christianity.The forum's communiqué urged organizing youth meetings between Muslims and Christians to realize direct Ta'aruf among them in an effort to correct any negative stereotypical images in their minds about others and hence enable them to form reciprocal positive objective images.It recommended that addressing the new generation who are the victims of disinformation attempts is so significant a step through conducting cultural and information campaign focusing on the high moral principles and values in both Islam and Christianity". 'Racism'The communiqué asserted that linguistic, cultural, ethnic and religious diversity among people and communities is but a miracle of Allah and an expression of Divine Will in making people different in order to get to know each other and compete among themselves in populating the world."Man’s integrity and freedom is a basic principle in all religions and beliefs," said the communiqué, adding that the violation of such integrity by any means or restricting such freedom for any justification “will contradict with such principle and come into clash with God’s will which has honored man”.The communiqué deems as racism distinction and preference between human beings on the basis of religion, race of color.Besides being prohibited by every religion and law, “the adoption of any form of such racism under any circumstances is a contradiction against all values, moral, laws and beliefs,” said the communiqué.Permanent Council For DialogueThe communiqué said that it is important to distinguish between political positions of some of the Western governments and the Christian faith, the same as drawing a distinction between terrorism and the Islamic faith as there are false accusations and quite an injustice in both situations.The symposium also supported the establishment of a permanent council for inter-religious dialogue within the framework of the United Nations in order to enhance the principles for Ta’aruf between people and help establish the values of right and peace in the world.The conference was attended by representatives of 130 Christian and Islamic organizations from different parts of the world, a number of regional and international organizations and researchers. """ Whoo, I liked that. It's just to say to some people, who are sometimes forgetting it, that our job as human is to learn to KNOW the other. Read the headlines of today again (um if you read that tomorrow or later, I don't wish it, but it could be the same no?) See how many people died because of lack of interest for the other. I see too much people who act as if they knew they were right, they are not, planet is dying and starving.Go in the street (or on the other side of the planet) and talk to people you do not know, with the will to know them, it's an order
