In today's edition of the Gulf News, there is an interesting article that once again demonstrates that Islam is truly a religion of peace that seeks good relationships with Jews and Christians with whom we share a common prophetic heritage and a common deposit of Sacred Scriptures. Here is the URL where you can read more about it: http://www.gulfnews.com/news/gulf/qatar/10164596.html
Professor Ebrahim Saleh Al Naimi, Head of the Board of the Doha International Centre for Interfaith Dialogue (DICID) remarked about the purpose of the centre: "The centre represents an important project that challenges misconceptions about the three monotheistic religions and extremism. There is a need for dialogue among the three main faiths and the centre will be a focal point in the region of this purpose".
The centre was launched in May of this year at the Fifth Interfaith Conference that was organised by the Qatar University. Of particular importance in the context of Muslim initiative is the fact that this centre is run with a grant of the Emir of Qatar, Shaikh Hamad Bin Khalifa Al Thani.
