"As Muslims and in obedience to the Holy Quran, we ask Christians to come together with us on the common essentials of our two religions," the letter says. "Let this common ground be the basis of all future interfaith dialogue between us."
Noting that Christians and Muslims make up an estimated 55 percent of the world population, the scholars conclude that improving relations is the best way to bring peace to the world.

To some degree.
-Biblically speaking, do you think this is the best way to bring peace to the world?
No. We should fight tooth and nail, just like Jesus did. If they don't do it our way, don't forgive and kill with the righteous might of the Lord on our side. Or maybe not... Is that what He did with His enemies?
-Do you think it is okay for Christians & Muslims to come together to make the world a better place? Should it matter on what issues they come together on?
Never. I already stated that Jesus killed all who opposed Him. Nuts! He didn't do that. I guess that means that as long as the goal is worked toward, we can at least work with and communicate with them and possibly build relationships and understand each other. Would that work? Maybe there is something to that.
-Overall, how does this sit with you?
I bet you could guess. ;)
-If you are a Christian, what part should being at peace with all men play in your world view?
The same part it did with Jesus.
