CHRISTIAN MUSLIM INTERNATIONAL PEACE CONFERENCE

The world is in turmoil. There is restlessness everywhere. Every human soul is disturbed. Each one is in search of peace and tranquility. The calm looks illusory. The world is dividing into majority and minority the best example for this is Denmark. Conflict of civilizations, clash of religions is being talked about. The talk may be in subdued tone. The fear is there. Sweeping things under carpet will not turn reality into naught. Those who are in pain cannot be straightway wished away. Pain has to be cured. The patient has to be treated, satisfied to make him behave normally. Peace without administering justice and equitable treatment to those who are ill at ease may be a wishful notion.

 
The religious minorities are generally oppressed, backward and downtrodden in most of the countries. Their economic, social and political uplift is the only answer to the current upheaval. No collective help can be rendered to this class until it is united at one platform on self service basis.

The voice of minorities is solemn and sincere. Their untoward conditions do inculcate in them do-it spirit. Thus they can play a positive and effective role in ushering in an era of peace.
The minorities are important segments of society. Their all told population around the globe may be around six billion. They are a force to reckon with. They may be a ninth wonder of the world. Their cultures, their ways of worship and places of worship need to be respected and protected. Indeed the level of prosperity, well-being and sense of self-satisfaction of the minorities in a society is the litmus test of accomplishments of that polity. The growth of healthy relationship between majority community and the minorities should be formally taught in educational institutions and form part of syllabi. This may appear a novel idea on face of it. But with passage of time it may pave the road to revolution. The revolution for love, amity, affection and eternal peace and make this planet more worth living.

With that objective in mind the World Minorities Alliance plans to hold an international conference of bona fide representatives of religious minorities living in various countries around the globe. The purpose is to devise mechanics for safeguarding the interests of the minorities without discrimination on the basis of cast, creed or colour. The conference is proposed to be held in Islamabad, federal capital of Pakistan within next three months.
