[quote][quote][purple]thnx raushan. [/purple] however in all such affairs and incidents we must keep in mind the position of the rasool/the messenger/the prophet pbuh. his only purpose of coming into the world was to uphold islam and complete it as a religion after cleansing it from the impurities that entered into it over the period of time since Abraham pbuh, who had cleansed it in his time.
after the last prophet none of us is or ever will be in this position.
what we are reqd to do is to keep the knowledge about islam available in all modern and prevailing media and also through our individual, and ideally, collective practice; most of all with our "akhlaq" manners as Qura'n and all the prophets' including  Muhammad's sws teachings lay a lot of stress on them as well as history itself is witness to the fact  that most people came to the light of islam by the manners of those who practiced it.
[green]thence we hv to trust people's minds and hearts for their guidance and God Himself who does not leave those alone who are in search of Truth. [/green][/quote]
How true this is, Henna. At Art Beyond Belief, we are commited to the idea, not of commonality, (although it is certainly possible to find a common thread in all faiths, and especially the Abrahamic faiths) but of acceptance despite differences. What Sir Jonathan Sacks (Cheif Rabbi of the UK) calls "The Dignity of Difference". What is, for me, a most interesting outcome from this level of acceptance is that one unwittingly joins a small, but growing number of  people who find that they have more in common with like-minded believers of a different faith, than they do with the grass-roots members of their own (faith). I have no doubt at all that this is a good and noble quest...
