This article is about the conflict between Muslim and
Christians. 138 prominent Muslim scholars wrote two letters to Pope Benedict
XVI and other Christian leaders to urge the religions leaders “to come together
with us on the common essentials of our two religions. The first letter was a
plea/request to make peace between the two religions; the second letter was
about wanting the same freedoms Muslims enjoy in the west in the east (Europe). We learn that it is not just American’s that
are fearful of Muslims, and that actually Muslims have more freedom in the
United States (the west) than in Europe. I chose this article because I wanted
to learn something different than the religions that are in conflict with American
people. This article also seemed interesting. The type of change that I think
is needed is for the Pope to accept the letter and act on his ideas to grant
Muslims the same freedoms as Muslims in the west have.
