"The 'Common Word', [the Muslim "letter of Peace"] though addressed to Christian Churches, also makes clear its respect for Hebrew scripture in citing directly from the Book of Deuteronomy, and in acknowledging the inspiration that this provided for their understanding of the Qur'anic teaching on the unity and love of God and of neighbour;' they said in the communique.
The communique also called for the furthering of "universal religious solidarity" by regarding places of worship, Christian, Jewish or those of other faiths, as "sacrosanct and therefore inviolate".
Well, can we see Jewish prayer on the Temple Mount? A halt to Waqf destruction of Jewish artifacts?
And this addition to the news that Rabbis Metzger, Amar and Coehn are off to the White House and which clarifies the matter:
a Council of Religious Institutions of the Holy Land is I think a major step forward, and this is a group – Christian Muslim and Jewish – which will be visiting the United States next week, together.
