SUNNI MUSLIM GRAND MUFTI SHEIKH MOHAMMED RASHID KABBANI CONTACTS HIS HOLINESS ARAM I
12/01/2010
On Wednesday 1 December 2010, His Holiness Aram I received a telephone call from the Grand Mufti of Lebanon. The Mufti expressed his resentment at the recent violence in Iraq against Christians, because according to him Christians and Muslims in the Middle East have always coexisted despite difficulties. Sheikh Kabbani proposed that Christian and Muslim Spiritual Leaders of the region prepare a statement condemning all acts that trigger interreligious animosity among communities. The Sheikh offered to contact spiritual leaders in Egypt and Saudi Arabia and other countries in the region and invite them to participate, and requested the cooperation of Catholicos Aram I for the Christian contribution.
After welcoming the proposal, His Holiness Aram I affirmed the centuries long conviviality between Christians and Muslims in the region, and he promised to discuss the proposal with Christian Spiritual Leaders.
I’m glad to hear. At least there is some hope.
