Islamic Outreach , Part LXIV
The Council of the Bishops’ Conferences of Europe has sponsored a
three-day meeting at the Abbey of St. Maurice in Switzerland devoted to
Muslims in Europe.
Alluding to the persecution of Christians in the Middle East, Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran, president of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue, said that “dialogue is more necessary than ever. Firstly, because the vast majority of Muslims do not recognize themselves in these barbaric events; then, because to pursue dialogue, even in a context of persecution, can become a sign of hope.”
Meanwhile....
ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has released a call to arms which asks Muslims everywhere to physically join ISIS in the area it now controls or simply take up the struggle against unbelievers wherever they are.
The title of the message “March Forth Whether Heavy or Light” comes from a verse in the Koran which calls on believers to “strive with your wealth and your lives in the cause of Allah.” In Baghdadi’s view that striving is ISIS’s war against unbelievers.
“O Muslims, Islam was never for a day the religion of peace. Islam is the religion of war,” al-Baghdadi says, according to an English language transcript of the speech promoted by ISIS-affiliated social media accounts.
