Peace and harmony
Credo - Main aim: "Peace and harmony between people of all creeds and nations" ~ Monty Python's The Meaning of Life, the conclusion of the film, 197x
One contribution I've made to this aim. ==> essay.
Pointing out that the scriptures held dear by all camps are actually saying the same thing Once that is acknowledged it may prove a source of peace and reconciliation, if some area of common ground can be found then this thought might influence some to think, to stand back, to re-think and to reduce their prejudices; rather than just re-arrange their prejudices.
For instance the Jewish, Christian and Muslim religions are all, at their root, Abrahamic faiths. The Golden Rule is a commonality across all beliefs, cultures and religions.
- Christianity was popular because it was a development of the thinking which had gone before - the Greek and Roman philosophies which had been debated and refined over the previous centuries.
Criticism
Unfortunately seeking explanations of the prejudices of Muslims vs. The West won't be found in their historic texts. For instance, both Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland vehemently support The Bible yet there remain many prejudices between many members of the two groups.
