Interfaith conference fails after argument between Muslims and Jews

Friday 18th July, 2008

An interfaith conference which has been held in Madrid during the week has ended on a bad note with Muslims and Jews involved in a political argument.

Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah had gathered followers of the world's major faiths for the Madrid conference to seek religious reconciliation.

It has been reported that exchanges between Muslim participants and Jewish Rabbis turned to a discussion on Zionism and became overheated, almost leading to blows.

It was the first time Saudi Arabia had invited Jews to such a meeting and the aim was to avoid hot issues like the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

Interfaith conference fails after argument between Muslims and Jews

A very very wise Prophet two thousand years ago saw the danger of the primitive thinking where we say: an Eye for an Eye! there is no end to this cycle of behavior, there is no healing there are no winners! There is a way to not only stop this Violence and most importantly also save your soul and find God.. What we see in Israel is a world without love for your neighbor and what we discover the fence between ourselves and our neighbors is not too high, so our neighbor can always throw stones at us if we are not friends.. Still there is Hope and there is a Savior.. This prophet teaches us to love our neighbor and tells us how to love one another.. It seems like it takes great courage to turn the other cheek, but in the long term you will find the wisdom on the words of Jesus and the power of love. For those of us that have experienced the power of having loving relationships you will understand how much easier life becomes.. Two thousand years ago, Jesus HAD TO DIE, so that he could prove he could conquer what we see as the end.. He is a great prophet that will save Jerusalem for all of us! All you need to do is just listen and DO WHAT HE ASKS.. A world without love? you are experiencing it now! Has this worked so far?

Organised Religion.

The root cause of all this squabble is because of the organised religions. Each one considering they are holier that the other! Cut all that crap and go back to listen ONLY to your consciousness. That alone will take u a long way...
These organised religion bigots draw demarcation boudaries that do now allow other faiths to join in.

god?

You may consider the fact that god almighty is just an illusion. Start living a meaningful life without the burden of this illusion.

It's not Organized Religion

Its Islam.

Respect and Religion

According to the koran and the sunnah, all non-muslims are 2nd class citizens. Period. Finis! There can be no meaningful exchange, as long as that is the very foundation of their belief. Wake up, or disappear.

Meeting of Major Egos

The meeting of Major Egos in the hope to find harmony.This shouldn’t even be considered, total waste of time as evident in the closing ceremony, ending on a bad note with Muslims and Jews involved in a political argument. All this reigious personalities failed to strip their Egos before going to Madrid.

Ironic

This conference , hosted by the brutally backwards oil rich Sauds, was held in Spain. Reason, cause Saudi Arabia, being the bigoted country it is, doesn’t allow Jews even to visit. Yet these people have the gall to criticize the one and only Jewish state for being religious.

Islam

There can be no peace between Islam and any other religions in the world. Islam is not a religion of peace. The Prophet Mohammed spread islam by the sword. What kind of religion where you are rewarded by killing a fellow human. The Muslims need to stop talking about peace with other religions, about islamic science, finance, etc.. All of the modern wonders of the world came from the west and the asian countries. Muslims need to address the fact that there holy books need to be cleaned first before they call themselves a proud religion.

Did anyone expect anything different?

The yiddin are given a forum to air their concerns with civility and yet they turn it into a whinefest, pissing off their gracious hosts. Smae old song and dance.

I agree with Cyros Williams. Israel has overstayed itz (un)welcome.

Remember kiddies: jews are a religion when itz convenient to hide behind, but they are a race all the time. And while they prod other races to mix and diversify to the detriment of all, they strictly adhere to their own, focusing their control.

Islamofascists

Most of these Muslims are 2nd rate Hitler wannabees. We Jews have put up with them and have persecuted by them for 2 thousand years. One day they will cause a 2nd holocaust.

Yeah right their HAROLD fakegold anyone who dares to disagree with you in just anotehr “Hitler” even if what they say is true and your factualy wrong. I guess the thousands of Palestinian civilians and Lebanonese civilians murdered by Isreal don’st count as genocide or presecution cause only your tribe have rights and life’s matters according to you right?

Also that’s such a cheap shot and dishonest tactic whenever you start losing and can’t win an open honest debate you just start calling people names and screaming at them.

truith? teller? HAHAHA!!!!

In the opening words of your first sentence (07-20-08, 02:19 AM) you commit the very act that you go on to condemn. As such, you immediately negate the supposed high-ground that you would claim to speak from. If you disbelieve the connection Harold makes between hitler and muslims, I suggest you educate yourself. For your benefit, I offer this bit of information:

religious plurality

Ah, yes, the Saudis. The very examples of religious tolerance and plurality. One might question why the conference was not held in Mecca rather than Spain (Al Andalus?) Maybe it is due to the fact that non-Muslims (kafir najis) are not allowed to enter the city at all. Talk about apartheid.
