Interfaith Dialogue

Interfaith Dialogue or Islamic Domination

Interfaith, according to its Christian innovators, refers to dialogue or activities involving persons of different religions in the struggle to comprehend the relationship between them. The “modern” interfaith dialogue movement was started at the world missionary conference in Edinburgh 1910. Interfaith dialogue is held separately from debate and dawa. It involves meetings between representatives of two or more religions in which discourse on some components of the religions but conflicting claims to truth are not debated.

Some believe that adherents of various religious practices can cause people to converge (come together and unite) on common social issues (e.g. fighting poverty or drug addiction), without coming to a consensus on Aqeedah belief issues. Others believe that various religions can converge on social issues and (eventually) accept each others doctrines as valid (regardless of conflicting claims to truth).

Recent times have seen Interfaith become a tool in the War against Islam in which Islam’s claim to exclusive truth is being attacked as intolerance and Muslims are urged to accept falsehood under the banner of Interfaith. Apologetic Muslims have adopted it as a tool to come closer to people of other religions where they have ceased to tell them that their current paths will lead them to hell and instead to guide them to Islam. To work, it relies on Muslims ignoring our differences, for example remaining silent over the Christian claim that Jesus is God and that God is three!!!

The target of Interfaith is Islam as it aims to degrade Islam to the same lowly levels of other religions. Islam is far superior because it is an ideology complete with a comprehensive Aqeedah which can be proven to be factual and provides solutions for all of man’s problems in society as well as systems by which they are implemented, the Aqeedah is protected and the ideology is carried to the world. If they succeeded in reforming Islam into one of the religions, then Islam will not be a threat to the West and rival its ideology, Capitalism.

There is no such thing as Interfaith dialogue in Islam. Instead, there is dawa to all people including those of other religions to establish that their beliefs, whether trinity or secularism, are false and proving that Islam’s belief is correct.

There is no common ground to seek with them as Allah has already declared that “Anyone who chooses a deen other than Islam, it will never be accepted from him and in the hereafter, he will be amongst the losers” TMQ Al-Imran:85.

Call people to the way of your lord with hikma and best advice, and reason with them, if you have to, in the most courteous manner. (TMQ An-Nahl 25)

We are commanded to call people to the Deen of Allah, not to expound our efforts in finding common ground in religious text in an attempt to mix them. And mix not truth with falsehood, nor conceal the truth while you know (the truth). (TMQ Baqara 42)

Furthermore, we are commanded to carry the ideology of Islam to the whole world.

Ibn 'Umar narrated that Allah's Messenger said: I have been ordered to fight the people until they testify La illaha illallaha Muhammad ar-RasulAllah, and offer the Salaat and give the Zakaat, so if they perform all that, then they save their lives and property from me except from Islamic laws, and then their reckoning (accounts) will be done by Allah. (Bukhari)

O believers, fight them until there is no more mischief and the Deen of Allah is established completely. (TMQ Anfal 39)

In the recent episode with the Pope's comments and the call for dialogue between religions, the above article is quite appropriate.

all this business of interfaith dialogue are methods for the kuffar to place islam on the same level as all other religions but the fact is that islam is superior than all other religions, ideologies.

this is could be a tactic seen more prevailent in the future, by the moderates but thier tactics will not succeed as allah says: "they plot and plan against allahs deen but allah is the best of planners" : surah al-imran.

NO MORE THEM AND US - THE CLASH IS A MYTH
National Islam Awareness Week 20-26 November

The Royal Geographic Society in London will play host to the launch of the 13th Islam Awareness Week on Monday 20th November. The 2006 theme is One World - The Myth of the Clash.

Last Monday, twenty prominent world leaders submitted the Alliance of Civilisations report to the UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, in Istanbul. The report dismissed the notion that a clash of civilisations is inevitable, but says that swift action is needed. The group argued the need to build bridges has never been greater.

The common thread of humanity which binds people together will be explored. "Our message is the things that we have in common are much more significant than our differences, whether those differences are real or in our minds. Talk of a great clash is the talk of mongers, but we must not stand still and just watch either," says Julie Siddiqi, National Coordinator of Islam Awareness Week . "The time is right now. That is why we are taking our message as far and wide as we can to more towns and people than ever, to every MP in the country. The clash is imagined but our one world is not - we have got to come together and own the concerns and problems in our world."
A commissioned exhibition promoting the One World message will be displayed at events and schools. The popular Canadian Muslim folksinger Dawud Wharnsby will give a special performance at the launch.


The difference between imaan and kufr will always conflict. These idiots don't think before they say anything. Yes all humans have the same generic needs, we go the toilet when we need to and we eat when we 're hungry, so what!!!?

The kuffar are what they are because they deny Allah (swt) and they wish to guide humanity with disbelief!! and through their disbelief & transgression they bring tumult and oppression! It is the duty of those who believe in Islam to make it supreme so that humanity will be guided correctly!!!

In the past this may have been called 'interfaith' but what I'm seeing these days is along the lines of 'interideology' debate. With interfaith, because the truths and falsehoods of religions aren't debated; the normally clear lines and boundaries of what a person upholds in a religious context are blurred for what is perceived as a "greater good" and this is now used in an ideological context (ie look at how much Muslims can benefit from religious hatred laws if they keep their mouths shut on Kufr being falsehood etc). The Zaloomis are very prominent at this. Whenever they come on TV nowadays it's to depict Islam as something which can tackle social problems like drugs and vandalism as a community service and even have long discussions about the "limits of freedom of speech" and how Muslims are such good "law abiding citizens". It worries me that so many Muslims fall for this trap and get caught into that debate as with many things "because it may BENEFIT us" and lose sight of the fact that this is something that goes against Islam in the first place.
