Out of the Darkness of Conflict, Intolerance, and Strife: Breaking Through the Rigid Systems of Human Separation and Starting Over Afresh Book Description

The story told in this book is a modern morality tale that addresses religious intolerance epitomized by the conflict between Christianity and Islam. This conflict has been going on intermittently since the first crusade at the end of the 11th century, but has become uppermost in our minds ever since the tragic events of September 11, the subsequent wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the many terrorist attacks around the world. History is quite clear as to the bellicose aspects of both Christianity and Islam, and we may be experiencing a prolonged flare-up of strife between these arch-enemies. Against the background of these troubled times, the two characters in the story, a Muslim woman and a Christian man, take time out to explore the root cause of this millennium-old strife, and why they as children of the same Creator belong to belief systems that articulate worldviews, which are bitterly opposed to each other. They pledge, at least for their part, not to recycle this age-old bitterness that neither Christianity nor Islam seems to be capable of resolving. They explore the foundations of their respective belief systems, project themselves outside the Islamic and Christian boxes that they have been packaged in so as to see their lives more objectively, and conclude that they need to travel a different road if they are to contribute to building a world that is a fitting habitat for all of the Creators children.
