Discussion

Abstract

Part II has discussed six Muslims, each prominent in dialogue with Christians, all of whom come from different backgrounds. Their social, cultural and political environments have moulded their vision and appreciation of dialogue. They have all lived long enough in the West to understand the nature of the encounters and issues involved, especially in Christian-Muslim relations. Though their denominational differences, Shi’i and Sunni, and their approach to the religions are responsible for differing emphases in their approach, nonetheless there are remarkable similarities in their overall approach to dialogue with Christians.
