Children of Abraham

The Children of Abraham focuses how to build the relationship between Jewish and Islam. This organization emphasizes their activities to the world’s Jewish and Muslim students to spend time together.
I think it is so important to build interfaith dialogue since in the young age because in their age, their characters are built. Unfortunately, those young teenagers who get access to internet only can reach their activities whereas; this organization is so effective to spread mutual understanding.


However, the problem is how to spread a kind of this organization to developing countries. For instance, I myself before coming to the USA, I just knew a little about Judaism. Something that I knew was that Islam and Judaism have a same root (Abrahamic religions).

Now I know that there are similarities in both religions, such as its fundamental religious outlook, structure, jurisprudence, and practice (food, modesty, prophecy, some words, values, etc). Human being is easy to be prejudice because of the lack of information. I hope in the future more organizations like this emerge so that the peace in the world could exist.
If you are interested in knowing more about them, you can go to their website: http://www.childrenofabraham.org/homePage.html
