Judeo-Islamic Peace Movement

I read an interesting article at an interesting site. The latter is Family Security Matters (.org), which is “seeking answers to the most important question of our time: How to keep our families and our country safe and secure.” By the look and feel and the language of the site it is rather conservative one. Nevertheless that’s where I bumped into Imaad Malik’s article on “Creating a Judeo-Islamic Peace Movement.” He is a fellow at the Center for Islamic Pluralism. He analyzes and suggests solutions to Muslim’s “Islamofascism and anti-Semitism.” (These were his words, not mine.) Part of the anwer he provides is that “the common elements in Islam and Judaism will be rediscovered and reinforced when Muslims research Jewish religious history.” His approach is religious as the opening line of his final paragraph states: “The world grows apathetic about the presence and law of God.” He closes with a sentence I agree with, “The continuing turmoil between Jews and Muslim must end.”
P.s. I learned form the article that “Moshe ben Maimon or Maimonides (1135-1204), known in Arabic as al-Hakim Ibn Maimun al-Qurtubi – ‘the wise doctor Ibn Maimun from Cordoba in Spain.’”
