Other Muslim leaders "Speaking Out" - "A Commom Word"

[Zuiko Azumazi]

As a follow-on to the typically suspect "Open letter of 38 Muslim scholars
to the Pope" thread, which recently appeared on this sober and official
Muslim sponsored "A Common Word" website, this time signed by 138 prominent
Muslim leaders. Full article at this link:-

Extract:-
On October 13th 2006, one month to the day after Pope Benedict XVI's
Regensburg address of September 13th 2006, 38 Islamic authorities and
scholars from around the world, representing all denominations and schools
of thought, joined together to deliver an answer to the Pope in the spirit
of open intellectual exchange and mutual understanding. In their Open Letter
to the Pope (see english.pdf), for the first time in recent history, Muslim
scholars from every branch of Islam spoke with one voice about the true
teachings of Islam.

Now, exactly one year after that letter, Muslims have expanded their
message. In A Common Word Between Us and You, 138 Muslim scholars, clerics
and intellectuals have unanimously come together for the first time since
the days of the Prophet to declare the common ground between Christianity
and Islam. Like the Open Letter, the signatories to this message come from
every denomination and school of thought in Islam. Every major Islamic
country or region in the world is represented in this message, which is
addressed to the leaders of all the world's churches, and indeed to all
Christians everywhere.

Allah is one but Islam is a mosaic. The Muslim world is a linguistic tower
of Babel, an ethnic patchwork, a geographical puzzle and a political
kaleidoscope offering a picture of extraordinary doctrinal diversity.
