Jerusalem is the most loved city in the world by the monotheists who all have a link with it and a reason to love it, but for the past three thousand years or more it has suffered so many wars and knew so many conflicts that it became also the most bloody environment the earth has seen and not always a happy place. It has been destroyed two times, besieged twenty three times, attached fifty-two times and captured forty-four times. It is sad but true; the battle for it is still going on, for thousands of years now. What is there in that piece of land that makes people kill and die for it? Definitely, a connection with God, the “local call” as they say. Every stone or handful of dust in Jerusalem has a religious history and a link to God through his numerous prophets who lived in Jerusalem or visited Jerusalem or died in Jerusalem.

We have been witnessing in the past years, maybe since the tragic events of September eleven, the birth of an interfaith dialogue between Christians, Jews and Muslims.

The reality that appears to us when we read and do our own research is that there are many examples that show that Islam came as a fulfillment, a continuation of the two other monotheist religions not against them. Islam, did not call Jews and Christians infidels  Continue reading →

Psalm 133:1

“Do things for people not because of who they are or they do in return, but because of who you are.”

Rabbi Harold S. Kushner

“ God is peace : Let us ask him to help us to be peace makers each day, in our life, in our families, in our cities and nations, in the whole world. Let us allow ourselves to be moved by God’s goodness.”

Pope Francis 12/25/13

“Do you know what is better than charity, fasting and prayer? It is keeping peace and good relations among people as quarrels and bad feelings destroy mankind”

Prophet Mohammed 

Coexist through knowledge is a call for peace and coexistence among people of different faiths and cultures, in order for them to learn from one another, share knowledge, and communicate it to those willing to learn, because the treasure is knowledge.

                 We are witnessing actions and thinking based on an ideology of hate and violence committed by individuals who call themselves Muslims, commit crimes and say that it is in the name of God, while Middle East was the light of the world and the source of knowledge.
