Ramadan was writing to those Muslims, not to those who love being in Muslim countries.<BR/><BR/>As for interreligious dialog - you didn't answer the question I raised.Estherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06697128144253268996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18600181.post-5106295553021395232008-08-26T12:20:00.000-07:002008-08-26T12:20:00.000-07:00‘Since Ramadan talks about the importance of inter...‘Since Ramadan talks about the importance of interreligious dialog, this makes me wonder if he's at all involved in such issues and if yes, whether they're really effective. After all, it seems as if he subscribes to the antisemitic rhetoric.’<BR/><BR/>You seem to be very confused and your confusion will subside if you seek the true meaning of Islam and forget about where you belong..east or west..north or south..just remember you belong to the human race whom are blessed with the gift of reason.<BR/><BR/>I believe Ramathan is an Arab? Hence, he and all Arabs share the same grand father with the Jews that is the Prophet Ibraham, therefor he is himself Semitic and can’t be untisemitic.<BR/><BR/>‘He accuses the west of supporting dictatorships and of state terrorism, but he barely voices any criticism of the dictators themselves.<BR/><BR/>Muslim immigrants have, at the least, escaped countries which do not provide the basic economic needs of their people, at the worst, don't bother about human rights. How can Ramadan expect those immigrants to come to the West and demand that the West shape up?’<BR/><BR/>I used to live in a Muslim country under dictator’s rule. The Christians used to have State Holidays during all their festivals while Muslims carry on working. This is by Islamic tradition of living with other religions for centuries. Relationship of exchanged respect. <BR/><BR/> The Jews in Spain ran away to Morocco from the Spanish inquisition. Read history, and find out how the Jews where flourishing in Islamic Spain before that. When Muslims moved they moved with them and carried on living with them in peace for centuries. And read history of how the West used to treat the Jews at that time. Again I say..there is more than one factor that make people behave in certain way… <BR/>Also, think Dictatorships are everywhere..how many from all over the UK gathered in central London to prevent war on Iraq…Did the Government listen? Do Iraqies blame the people who refused that war or the governments that forced it upon them? People never want war..history prove that.<BR/><BR/>I am proud to believe in the true Islam the religion of peace, where nationality, color and race are not counted but only one thing count…that is your good deed.manaweehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17704233411672748283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18600181.post-74189805885475767432007-09-07T03:43:00.000-07:002007-09-07T03:43:00.000-07:00Last year, Ramadan organized a conference on"Integ...Last year, Ramadan organized a conference on<BR/>"Integration of Europe into Islam", announced at the time on his home page.
