00:00:00.008 --> 00:00:03.711
When we started this project,
I can say that

2
00:00:03.736 --> 00:00:09.742
my three months time praying
and contacting imams and sheikh

3
00:00:09.767 --> 00:00:12.078
among the Muslim community,

4
00:00:12.103 --> 00:00:15.977
I have called that period,
a period of dialogue.

5
00:00:16.385 --> 00:00:21.101
It is a moment for me that
I can go out and talk to them.

6
00:00:21.126 --> 00:00:24.570
It was bad, there was a killing.
There was a destruction.

7
00:00:24.595 --> 00:00:29.867
Dialoguing, a process of igniting
a talk between

8
00:00:29.892 --> 00:00:32.938
the two of each other to listen,

9
00:00:33.311 --> 00:00:38.711
not only for the other side of a
crowd and to talk for himself, no.

10
00:00:38.736 --> 00:00:41.719
To listen, to listen and think.

11
00:00:41.744 --> 00:00:45.515
To listen and pick the good
part from the other side.

12
00:00:45.540 --> 00:00:49.977
To listen and to understand the pain

13
00:00:50.002 --> 00:00:52.352
that that person is going through

14
00:00:52.377 --> 00:00:56.766
and find a session of mediation
and say okay, yes,

15
00:00:56.789 --> 00:00:58.172
that is quite true.

16
00:00:58.197 --> 00:01:01.445
We have really understand that we
have went wrong in this direction.

17
00:01:01.470 --> 00:01:03.211
I have really offended you

18
00:01:03.236 --> 00:01:08.147
and I have done that out of anger,
out of ignorance, out of problem.

19
00:01:08.172 --> 00:01:10.945
But now let's find a common ground.

20
00:01:11.136 --> 00:01:12.711
Without dialogue,
we wouldn't have to count

21
00:01:12.736 --> 00:01:18.920
because it takes the grace of God
for a Christian to agree that yes,

22
00:01:18.945 --> 00:01:24.486
even though we have been hurt
by the Muslim extremist,

23
00:01:24.910 --> 00:01:26.994
we want to understand each other.

24
00:01:27.019 --> 00:01:28.783
Why should that happen?

25
00:01:28.808 --> 00:01:30.447
And even from the Muslims,

26
00:01:30.472 --> 00:01:33.830
even though the Christians
said, Muslims are killing us

27
00:01:33.855 --> 00:01:36.002
and we will be afraid
to come closer to them,

28
00:01:36.027 --> 00:01:37.798
Why not come together
and to understand

29
00:01:37.825 --> 00:01:39.346
why do they think that way?

30
00:01:39.371 --> 00:01:44.017
Why should they even connect
Muslim with terrorism?

31
00:01:44.042 --> 00:01:46.057
We need to understand
their thinking.

32
00:01:46.501 --> 00:01:50.275
After talking together,
we will be able to say: "Yes,

33
00:01:50.300 --> 00:01:52.814
now I understand the reason why you think that way."

34
00:01:52.839 --> 00:01:54.939
But, this is the reality.

35
00:01:55.109 --> 00:01:57.557
I would be able to advise
and to talk

36
00:01:57.582 --> 00:01:59.596
from the true love from my heart.

37
00:01:59.679 --> 00:02:03.630
Dialoguing is a very very important
instrument in the interfaith.
