Dear Rashid,

I am very impressed with the publication of your multi lingual new magazine Future Islam. It is indeed a voluminous publication, and I did not have time to read it but scanned through it. I indeed hope that it will not only contribute to people gaining a better understanding of their religious wisdom, leading to virtuous, compassionate, merciful behavior but that it will also open a dialogue with other religious. I believe so much that we need dialogue! A dialogue goes beyond judging others. It aims to listen and understand the other. The time that a religion empowers the self-confidence of its people through a belief in the superiority of its religion, and therefore is called upon to lead the whole of humanity to the end times, I believe will not contribute to a better understanding and more peaceful coexistence and ultimately to global Peace.

What do you think?

Greetings,
