Muslim-Christian Dialogue "Who is God and How Are We Saved?"

[Bassam Zawadi]

Assalamu Alaykum,

On March 2, 2009 I had this dialogue with Thabiti Anyabwile in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It was informative and entertaining. Check out here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cijIq...x=0&playnext=1

Greetings and peace be with you Bassam Zawadi;

I didn’t expect to listen to 22 separate video’s, in fact I was tempted to stop after the first one, but somehow found myself watching all 22. I found everyone took part with tolerance and perceived friendship, and I found this encouraging. I kind of chuckled at the end when you both attempted to convert the other, but did God give us separate faiths in order that man should try and change what God has given us.

I listened to all the clever arguments and I came to the conclusion there is a Muslim perception, there is a Christian perception, and then there is God.

We pray to an awesome God and the same God hears all our prayers, somehow God has a just and fair salvation for all of us, it seems beyond our understanding. It seems the same God destined you to be a Muslim and me a Christian for a purpose which seems beyond our understanding.

I would hope that we can pray for each other that we might all reach salvation despite all our perceived differences.

In the spirit of praying for a greater interfaith friendship and peace on Earth.

Eric

I love the way the CEO guy looked as if he was almost forced to give thanks to the 'royal highness' and had to big up the rest of the arab dubai crew, before even starting. I suppose its all part of forcing a good image to dubai
