This Conference, teaches us how to sit together for a dialogue according to the tenets of the Holy Quran and the way of life and conduct of the Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) to make a safe and sound world free from “sectarianism, extremism , war and bloodshed”. Interfaith dialogue is essential to avoid fanaticism which leads to confusion.
The selfish evil forces with vested interest promote fanaticism to divide and to create communal disharmony to fulfill their selfish desires.
However, Interfaith dialogue provides space for people of different religions with different school of thoughts to come together and discuss about their religions, clarify the doubts and promote inter-religious understanding and creates inter-religious relations, which avoids frictions between religious and religious communities”.
In joint resolution it was passed that Since Kashmir is a multi cultural and multi religious society dialogue is very essential for the unity and well being of the Mouj Kashmir.
Plurality is a basic and fundamental fact of the Kashmir society and everyone has to understand this pluralistic nature of Kashmir society. Every religion also has to be pluralistic in its own perspective and promote this pluralism among its adherents. Inter-faith dialogue has to contribute towards communal harmony and the welfare of the humanity.
