It is strange but very disappointing that in spite of so much of progress in science and technology, we human-beings have remained intolerant to other faiths and religions. In other words, the so called religious 'heads' (of almost all religions/faith) and also politicians have continued to 'use' us for their power-political dreams. The worst part of this disturbing 'scenario' is that even highly educated citizens too either subscribe to (or advocate) fanaticism, extremism, aggression, hate and xenophobia or remain 'silent' to these burning issues. Everyone of us, actually, have allowed the misuse of religions (or misused them) unknowingly or deliberately.
The conflict with other religion or not respecting people just because they follow a different faith has, probably, done so much harm to all inclusive growth of mankind. "Today the need to resolve the pressing issues of global concern is paramount. It is imperative that interfaith cooperation is developed to promote the principle of peace. It is very important for all religious people to recognize each other as partners, not adversaries in faith, writes Ghulam Ghuas in NewAgeIslam.com. He believes that the diversity of religions across the world demands tolerance and respect to the other from everyone.
He calls for interfaith dialogue among religions and highlights the the need to resolve the pressing issues of global concern. It is imperative that interfaith cooperation is developed to promote the principle of peace.
