Habib Ali

I am thrilled again to be part of modern history. While burn one copy of the Quran in the United States, offers us another copy of the Koran as an expression of solidarity. She told me so worshipers during Friday prayers, and felt passionately about all of that initiative.

For the eighth year in a row, growing business exchanges in the field of interfaith dialogue between Muslims and Jews and Christians in Ontario in good faith. Was a gift of the Quran is the premier event this year. Abraham grew up in the Peterborough Festival on the principle that the three religions have a common heritage to be explored and shared. Gave a walk through the tent of Abraham's, which refers to the tent of Prophet Biblical, a place to receive and host to strangers and engage them, and that opened wide to enter the Church of St. Andrews, gave the audience a sense that he could live history once again, even in place of the current era.

Dan Haupt, a partner and facilitator of a Jewish doctor and actively sought to collect the three religions together in Peterborough, a copy of the Quran for us Muslims during the festival last month. Suggested the idea for the first time to his Foundation and the Muslim participation Elizabeth Rehman, who then consulted with the Canadian Council of Imams about the gift. Ms. Rehman has turned to Islam in the United Kingdom and has been active for the first time within the community in the seventies of the last century, with her husband, the late Indian.

Hosted by the Muslim Students Association at the University of Trent neighboring Friday prayers on the first day of the festival this year, so that the neighbors of Christians and Jews to see the Holy Quran. Haupt presented some ideas about the gift, saying: «It proves that we stand together (with Muslims) in solidarity», he said, adding that this offering «show that the burning of the Bible constitutes an act of terrible».

Provided profound thanks and reported attendance of all religions that accepted the offering with gratitude and deep appreciation on behalf of all Muslims, and the desecration of any holy book is an attack on all religions of the Holy.

Also reminded them that this act is committed with the historical tradition, when you know Ibn Rushd, Muslim and Jewish Moses Maimonides and Thomas Aquinas the Christian work of each other in the twelfth century Spain, which is acknowledged even Pope John Paul II the great historical importance.

The theme of the festival this year, Abraham «forgiveness». Event was attended by a number of facilitators to participate in his religion on the topic of forgiveness towards others. She told the audience in words that «the subject of forgiveness is important because you need it sometimes is with those who love them very much. Man you love to the max that can harm you severely, and forgiveness ease the burden ».

Formed the process of the Quran by the local Jewish community a way to show goodwill and to remove any misunderstanding and harm can be felt by Muslims in the prevailing atmosphere of Islamophobia unfortunately, which is understood by the Jews, as a result of their long history in dealing with anti-Semitism.

She told the audience in the festival that a group of Jews recently donated their money and time to build a mosque in Toronto, and will highlight the producer of television programs Kenny Hotz this courageous project, Salam Mosque, in his documentary, which will appear on the channel «Showcase» this spring.

Has been honored Ms. Rehman during the event, and you delivered them with a copy card estimate the Qur'an, which you will use during flights in the region's schools and prisons. There was an overwhelming feeling of Muslims appreciation and thanks to the solidarity of this code, then it is the tradition of Abraham
