Christians, Muslims Unite For Peace!

I found this story online as I was searching for information on "peaceful", Christians, and Muslims, and found this after I typed the question into the search engine:

Christians, Muslims unite for peace, from FAISALABAD, Pakistan, Christians and Muslims jointly demanded peace and mutual respect, rejecting all forms of intolerance and violence tied to religion as they gathered together March 18 to celebrate the birthday of Muhammad, which this year fell in the middle of Holy Week. The meeting was organized by the Diocesan Commission for Interfaith Dialogue and the Ulama Council for Interfaith Dialogue, AsiaNews reported Friday.


"We are doing whatever we can do and will continue interfaith dialogue and activities for interfaith harmony and a peaceful society," said Mgr. Joseph Coutts, bishop of Faisalabad. He noted that Christians and Muslims must understand the current situation, which requires communication and dialogue on everyone's part to avoid tragedies.


Sayyad Muhammad Zacheriah, president of the Ulama council, said no religion teaches violence, hate and war but that there are some evil forces who target Islam and Christianity. He said blasphemy against Muhammad and Christ should be equally condemned and the government should make sure there are no more mocking caricatures of the prophet.


Fr. Aftab James Paul, director of the Diocesan Commission for Interfaith Dialogue in Faisalabad, said, "We are here to show social harmony and solidarity to each other, and peace lovers should be happy to see us united."
