Do you know the differences between a wall builder and a bridge builder?

If you are a Muslim talking to Christians, or Jews, rather than emphasizing the differences between Islam and the other Abrahamic religions (wall-building), you will highlight the commonalities (bridge-building).

This does not mean that you will forget or even assume that there are no differences, it simply means that you will emphasize the positive before you address the negative in a polite and friendly manner.

In an environment of tension, working for reconciliation and peace is long overdue. If we are to prevent a disaster from happening, we must work toward a better understanding. My Islamic faith has taught me that it is my duty, and I hope the duty of every person of goodwill, to try to work towards peace and true reconciliation.

Remember a Muslim by definition should be a peacemaker. We continue to say that Islam is a religion of peace. Let us help spread peace among all believers.
