General Information |
For the last five years, Qatar has been the center for
inter-faith dialogue among the religious groups around the
world. The first two inter-faith dialogue conferences were
confined to only two major religions, Islam and
Christianity. However in the third conference,
representatives from the three monotheistic religions were
invited and since then there has been a notable increase on
the number of attendees. As a result the inter-faith
dialogue event has been highly popular and successful
amongst various groups, researchers and individual followers
of all religions, this provided opportunities to share
common values and interests in this very important
inter-faith dialogue.
The previous conferences were focused on the theme,
“Religion's Role in Building World Civilization and
Progressive Human Personality”. Furthermore, the title of
the Fifth Conference was, "Spiritual Values and World
Peace".
Discussions throughout the Fifth conference, highlighted the
profound need to unite world religions against the great
dangers that surrounds mankind. One of the key and most
important recommendations of the Fifth Conference was a call
for the establishment of the Doha International Centre for
Inter-faith Dialogue. The role of this centre will primarily
be to spread the culture of dialogue, the peaceful
coexistence of humanity and the acceptance of others.
By the Grace of the Almighty God the center has since been
established and its opening inauguration is soon to be
celebrated, God willing.
The Sixth Conference will be held in Doha from the 13th
-14th of July 2008. The theme of this conference will be,
"Religious Values Between Peace and Life Respect". This year
200 guests from various countries around the world have been
invited to participate in this global event.
Conference participants will discuss various papers
including:
· The Life and its values
· Violence and self-defense
· Interfaith Peace
· Euthanasia
· Abusing the religious symbols
From the perspectives of the three monotheistic religions we
seek to reach common and harmonious cooperation and a
genuine desire to lay the foundations of world peace.
And for that very reason we as a team of true believes and
promoters of the inter-faith dialogue wish to share our
vision with the global community, to resolve world conflicts
and restore peace and harmony across the globe.
