RECENTLY, some London Jews arranged an Iftar for Muslims at their synagogue. The aim was to create interfaith harmony.

Numerous attempts have been made worldwide by peace-loving people at interfaith meetings to bring interfaith harmony to planet Earth but despite these efforts, religious wars continue to rage.

Soon these religious wars will become a nuclear war and extinguish life on earth. Unfortunately, large terrorist organisations like the TTP, Al Qaeda, Boko Haram and the IS are misusing the name of Islam and killing innocent Muslims . I hope that a day will come when Christmas celebrations will take place in our mosque for the sake of creating interfaith harmony. Islam is all about peace, harmony, interfaith dialogue and human rights.
