The
West has known Islam for over thirteen centuries now, but it has
generally known it in antagonistic terms as an enemy and as a threat. It
is not surpri’sing therefore that our religion has been portrayed as a
hostile, tyrannical, violent and even idolatrous religion and our
culture has been painted in dark and dismal colours. This state of
affairs cannot be allowed to persist and disfigure relations between
Islam and the Western world. With the advance of knowledge and a
greater contact between Europe and the Muslim world, intellectual,
social, cultural and political and economic, we hope the old attitudes
will change, giving place to better understanding and closer
co-operation based on loyalty to facts, honest appreciation of areas of
agreement and disagreement between us, and respect for differences where
we may disagree.
