Towards a New Beginning

This is in response to an article sent by Rori titled, A Muslim- Christian Handshake (csmonitor.com). This is a phenomenal step in reducing the misunderstandings between the two religions. This outreach has been endorsed by each community's most authoritative councils/ office (by the Pope and 138 Muslim scholars and clerics), which is crucial for its success. If these religious communities realize that their leaders have begun to their resolve the long- standing issues, a gradual end to conflicts is possible. This event demonstrates that interfaith collaborations are possible if we do not let our pride, hatred and ignorance stand in our way. Let's hope that these talks are successful and will lead to a new beginning for religion and its future.
