“Interfaith dialogue is one of the most important activities that people of faith can pursue,” said Mitchell. “Engaging in such dialogue gives us a chance to learn about each other and from each other. This allows us to recognize common beliefs and common values, both of which can form the basis of mutual respect and cooperation.”
Unitarian Christianity, whose followers have included Isaac Newton and several of America’s Founding Fathers, share the Muslim and Jewish belief in the oneness of God.
CAIR is America’s largest Muslim civil liberties and advocacy organization. Its mission is to enhance the understanding of Islam, encourage dialogue, protect civil liberties, empower American Muslims, and build coalitions that promote justice and mutual understanding.
