"Spirituality is the common factor in any dialogue between religions"

In a new book, Prof. Ahmad Milad Karimi describes how dialogue between Christianity and Islam is possible - Read his guest commentary here For Islam, Christianity is not an alien religion. Islam lives from its abiding relatedness to Christianity (and Judaism). Both Judaism and Christianity are acknowledged in the Qur'an as faiths revealed by God Himself which are not mutually exclusive. What these religions have in common is their essence: their faith in the one God. In addition, what living encounters between the religions shows us is that the questions we all have in life are the same. Where do we come from? Where do we go? What constitutes happiness for us' And misery? What should we be doing? What is the sense of our existence? Neither Christianity nor Islam are in possession of the truth, even though each is convinced that its own way is the true one. This raises the question: Which Christianity and which Islam are we talking about? Both religions are widely diverse, sustained by an ambiguity which can be experienced.
