Christians have increased – over cartoons depicting the prophet Muhammad, over discrimination
of Muslims, and over fear of more terrorist attacks such as the London and Madrid bombings.
But the stirrings of dialogue among the world’s Muslim and Christian leaders must be ongoing
and reach down to their followers. It will take a flood of mutual understanding to make the
religious soil hospitable for tolerance and inhospitable for terrorism.
And the interfaith coming together must not supplant the vast work that still must be done within
Islam itself – healing the Sunni-Shiite divide and rejecting extremism that finds glory in suicide
bombings.
It’s encouraging that the Muslims behind the letter preceded their work with a push in 2005 to
build tolerance within Islam. This week’s intervention of British Muslims to win a pardon for an
English schoolteacher in Sudan shows that intrafaith efforts can have a moderating effect. (The
teacher was sentenced last week to 15 days in prison for “insulting Islam” by allowing the class
teddy bear to be named Muhammad.)
Lastly, if the purpose of interfaith dialogue is peace, it must include Jews. That was recognized in
Washington last week when Christians and Jews for the first time publicly welcomed a fatwa
issued by the Fiqh Council, the highest Muslim judicial body in North America. The council’s
ruling condemned terrorism and said it was the duty of Muslims to report threats to law
enforcement.
“Let us respect each other, be fair, just and kind to another,” the Muslim letter concludes. May
those words take root in thoughts and deeds, far away and at home.

Reakcije na sporazum donet u Raveni
Sunday, December 16th, 2007
Nedavno zasedanje Zajedničke Komisije za bogoslovski dijalog između Rimokatoličke i
Pravoslavne Crkve, održano od 08. do 14. oktobra u Raveni, izazvalo je razlicite reakcije u
pravoslavnom svetu. Kod nas je osvanuo niz clanaka koji dokument donet prilikom zasedanja
negativno ocenjuju. Obzirom da ja nisam kompetentna da dajem svoj sud, postavicu na blog neke
od tih tekstova, kako bi, mozda, neko upuceniji dao svoj komentar…Ako komentari izostanu (sto
se redovno desava sa tekstovima koje ja postavim ), makar ce razlicita misljenja o tom
dokumentu biti sabrana na jedno mesto, pa ko zeli, nek’ cita. Uzgred, mozete pogledati zajednicko
saopstenje sa zasedanja na:
