No religion should be a total way of life. All religions have undergone a reformation, withstanding Islam. As Christianity before Jews and Muslims currently exchange dialogue building bridges to coexist with each other. A relationship with Allah or Elohim, serves as a covenant as an example for mutual understanding. Heaven may be a value with different interpretations of gaining admission to paradise. Good deeds verses violence and rage, may be argued as a Jihadist viewpoint, compared to a Hebrew in Israel. A sense of balance must be demonstrated if Muslim immigrants are to be absorbed from the middle East in western civilization. The initial step remains to be taken in good faith and respectfully concerning the country one is entering as an immigrant. Choose to modify controversial rituals not to offend the sensibilities of the other. A secular person exhibits more tolerance than one steeped in the nuance of religious worship.
HOW TO CHANGE THE HEART AND MIND
What everyone needs to know about modern movements, equated with Westernization and religious secularization in society.
Watering down faith and identity does not reduce the force of tradition to obey the tenants of a religious order. Mankind must for the survival of the species, reduce confrontation transitioning into warfare. A creative new stage in the evolution of men on earth begins with tolerance. Turn the other cheek or listen to a stranger with compassion and empathy. Learn not to pass judgement or jump to a conclusion, denying an opponent his humanity. In the light of changing realities in contemporary times, no individual is a polar opposite from a nationality, racial or religious origin. Find a common thread of identity and appeal to the better angels of a perceived enemy. The process of change is gradual. Religious parables are at the center of one’s rethinking, if forgiveness may be granted.
Spiritual transcendence is a means of forming fresh thinking. To counterviolence find out why a Jihadist became radicalized, delving into his past experiences with a hated enemy. Dialogue opens up understanding and mutual respect. All men are challenged to move beyond stereotypes. Change is entering into a multi-dimensional dialogue, to build a future based upon mutual understanding and respect.
