Islamic leaders seek Dialogue with Christian world
World Muslim leaders have condemned extremism and terrorism as incompatible with Islam and proposed a high-level international meeting to promote a "dialogue of civilisations" with the Christian world.
Islam is actively seeking to promote peace and co-existence among other religions. Islam is moving in the right direction here. Hopefully greater understanding will make life easier for Christians and Muslims alike.We continue to strongly condemn all forms of extremism and dogmatism which are incompatible with Islam, a religion of moderation and peaceful coexistence," the declaration said on Friday.
"We believe that it is important to plan along such lines a preparatory phase by organising a major international gathering on Islamic-Christian dialogue that involves governments among other players," it said.
