UDL: Imam Mohammed "Faith and Works" Cleveland, OH 1990

We will also follow-up on yesterday's Jumu'ah.  "The Language and Logic Of Interfaith Dialogue"

An interview conducted by Focolare representative, Ms. Paola Santosr-fano with Imam W. Deen Mohammed focused on an event in  which took place in Washington, D.C.,  in November 2000 themed "Faith Communities Together."  (Published August 2000)

Imam Mohammed: She is the key person for this event (November 2000 Washington D.C.) .

We want the audience to see the Focolare Movement through Chiara Lubich, and she will address the audience there and it will get acquainted with her. We also will see performers performing and youngsters of the Focolare Movement singing and giving us a very beautiful presentation there. They will see all of this and witness all of this there.

But in my opinion, we will miss the real importance of all of this, if we don't know the ideology and ideas and the person who is responsible for making all of this happen for the Focolare and for our relationship also. And that is Chiara Lubich.

Focolare: And you too, Imam Mohammed.

Imam Mohammed: Well, that is because of Chiara Lubich. She opened up something in me. She opened up another room in my heart and in my soul and made me feel more comfortable in expressing my desire to have Muslims and Christians know each other, so we can be better citizens with each other. Not just for ourselves but for each other.
