Bangalore Christian Muslim dialogue Christian Muslim un Christian Muslim Allah Quran whoever is being oppressed whoever is suffering whoever is dying out of because of the uh powerful regime of oppressors killing people Imam Hussein is an intercessor for all those who suffer all those who oppressed don’t mix your faith with religion and politics okay whatever faith I have faith is
Different nothing is there is no you know controversy on religion politics is different religion is different don’t mix it the moment you mix it you will get confused and we need to be proud to be in India you know I think India is the safest country for he Christians
Muslims or anyone you know Muslims are not safe in Muslim countries today because of the fren element and everything so that is as proud Indians let us Stand United irrespective you know we are the last generation a generation after us you know things are very bad the young students are getting radicalized you
Know when you were kids we never used to see who’s Hindu Muslim Christian today Muslims are making friends with only Muslims Hindus are making friends Hindus and Christians January Christian delegation Islam IM Hussein who islim M Muhammad IIM m i h peace and Hindu Muslim is hind Muslim in the news report and also if you know the famous words of Mahatma Gandhi g he has said I learned from Hussein how to achieve Victory while being oppressed understanding is there you think yeah uh we were happy to have a you know kind of a platform to exchange ideas basically
Not on religion but on peace I think today that’s what the misunderstanding uh yesterday also one of the Islamic scholars said it’s not that religion is bad but those who practice the faith in the way they understand I think today what we had as a call where uh it’s not
That religion God is important but the values practiced whether Islam or Catholic we hold on to peace whether it’s Hindu or any Community but uh the sad thing is misunderstanding just because a minority does something evil we consider uh the whole religion is is like Islam is a terrorist Catholics are
Into missionary conversion which is not really true we see these Fring elements are in all religions so let’s take a call that uh keeping aside a religion let it be a faith practice but in reality let’s hold on to the religion of humanity and promote peace thank you
Meeting and this visit to the shrine was a wonderful experience for me because it is the first time that I’m coming inside a shrine of Muslim uh our brothers so it was a beautiful experience of a spiritual experience when I went to that Shrine there inside so it gave me a lot
Of you know spiritual experience that Ambience that peaceful within uh my heart that’s what I felt and uh a lot of information about Imam Hussein and about the Muslims and people know these These Days people project Muslims as the terrorists but now I know that they are
Not that but we can’t judge Muslims by their act but they are teaching that we have to judge the Muslims so now I’ve got a right understanding of the Muslims and my brothers and sisters and I would love to have that dialogue with them and to you know establish a good contact
With each other and to bring that peace and Harmony in the world thank you good name Santos you know about the other religion is it important yeah I feel it’s very important in that way we are having actually two weeks courses this is part of our two week courses and exposure
Visit and I think it was a very eye opening session for me like sometimes we have very bad understanding of of what an Islam is because of the media that that is portrayed of negative picture but when you have in come in person come to know that they are spiritual uality
Dialogue the practices the good values that they propagate it becomes an eye opener for me it is an eye opener uh where I found lot of riches that Islam professors and its followers propagate the the values of nonviolence the values of patience and so on so in generally it
Was a great experience for me though it was short it has been a memorable experience we all students we are all students of theology uh we are preparing to be a priest uh Christian priest Catholic priest thank my name is gatri I’m coming coming from katur I’m working in a uh Civil
Society organization right now it’s parts of part of a human human fraternity for a member I came here but it is a very great opportunity for me uh being a woman I just entered here inside and I heard about the Imam Hussein uh this ENT life and you know the entire
History you know so far I never knew about this this is the first time I heard about that and you know once I heard about the entire story and just came entire life it’s not a story it’s a real life and came out of the uh place
And immediately I felt that I you know I just completed 45 years uh wasted but right now I feel like proud to be here and first time being a woman I have visited inside and I have visited him here also and uh really the proud moment
Here thank you so much what is the message to society you would like to give the message to the society is we all brothers and sisters we have to believe very strongly there is no difference in terms of religion and you know we have to believe peace and love
That is what I would like to say I am Mr Simon I have learned about today about IM and the Muslims concept and I have learned that we have to look at the religion in faith not in a political way or in selfish way when you look at the
Religious and religious people we feel that the love and faith is same in all religions so one question here yes uh about fighting in fighting yeah I have I have asked you question about why the Indians and in India Hindus and Muslims and Christians fight in out of country
Christians and Indian fight but normally the people said from I don’t know his name maana said that this is not Muslim and Christian people fight but in a political Reon and in a financial reason or some other other reasons are be that not because due to the religious for for
Uh I’m say k law student from St Joseph’s I actually felt very overwhelming attending this uh human Humanity fraternity program uh there’s a quote famous quote saying that uh let Humanity awaken entire humankind will claim Hussein as their own so this is what I sense today uh after the program
Was posted uh the few Christian clerics asked us and demanded us that they want to visit a MOS there so me and Zakaria our brother who running who me and Zakaria accompanied the Christian clerics and few other brothers there in the bab Bangalore and midar and we had very fruitful discussions with them
Raising questions we had really very sensitive dialogues between them understanding and sharing our cultures and the and values it was really to say very memorable and this is what we need it’s a need of the hour for the humanitarian dialogue and that is what Justice is not prevailed because hearts
Are polluted hearts are polluted because Justice is not prevailed so what’s needed here is Justice to Prevail so that Hearts can be Pro Hearts can be like so like you know so pure that which arouses very uh good intentions for the entire humanitarian count this is what
Imam Hussein stood for this is what we are working for inshallah we hope in the next future the world will be fully flourished with peace Brotherhood fraternity and love thank you IND Mess life mam it’s an important uh event today uh uh Jes students of theology from ANL uh we we are here today to meet our Shia Muslim brothers and sisters to talk to them about uh Imam Hussein and his sacrifice and also to learn from them how Imam Hussein uh faced um oppression
And how Imam Hussein practiced patience in his life how Imam Hussein has become intercessor for all those who suffer so it’s a beautiful know time of learning for us and we uh I believe that uh Imam Hussein’s message is relevant for today and for the days to come because he
Stood against oppression he faced oppression uh with nonviolence so that is something very important for the day for today’s world and the days to come looking at World scenario here palestin issues also discussed so what do you say about um violence uh in the name of
Religion uh we must uh um oppose uh religions preach teach peace uh when religion is um uh combined with politics it leads to a lot of uh difficulties so uh human person and the Dignity of human person is important uh whoever is uh a person know they are all dignified they
Have the rights to live in peace and joy and Harmony in this world so wherever is violence and oppression uh we must uh uh speak against that we must work for peace and harmony for all people there is a tendency that those who speak about
Peace they are um weak or they are CED like that this is a tendency so what do you say this about this to speak for peace only courageous people can do courageous men and women speak for truth speak truth to the power they stand uh know they face oppression with
Nonviolence and truth it’s not easy to speak truth speaking truth we need to be uh courageous from within so only courageous men and women speak truth speak truth to the power so how uh should we unite on how should we progress we need to I know work together
Uh find ways for reconciliation find ways to work for peace in order to work for peace we must work for justice Pope John Paul II said if you want peace work for justice any long longlasting peace would be founded only on Justice we must work for justice we must work for all
People to live in harmony and peace without discriminating against one another without putting down one another we need to come live as brothers and sisters we are that’s our vocation to be human person Chti or The day from the days of I wish that there is a peace in the palistine theity Okay yes human fraternity Forum platform Unity Christian fathers across the country Christian fathers or students of theology significance of the history of Imam Hussein’s Mar IM Hussein or family I learn from Hussein how to achieve Victory while being oppressed or Mahatma Gandhi Nelson Mandela Africa Revolution father common principles mamm IIM
