The King of Saudi Arabia's call for inter-faith dialogue has been welcomed by the WJC. King Abdullah has the support and approval of Saudi Arabia’s top clerics to pursue the idea.
WJC President Ronald S. Lauder said:
"Despite all obstacles that may still be in the way, King Abdullah's initiative is a laudable step forward. We hope that other religious and political leaders throughout the world will be encouraged to join."
Inter-faith dialogue will allow people from different faiths understand each other and not hate or fear one another.
Transl. of Holy Quran 49:13:
O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise (each other). Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of Allah is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And Allah has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things).
This comes as Qatar recently held a inter-faith dialogue in the inter-faith centre in Doha.
