[ABNA.IR] Speaking to Egypt's al-Yawm al-Sabi daily, Abdullah Rinat Muhammadov added that they exaggerate the differences between the two faiths.
He stressed that Islam attaches importance to upholding the rights of Christians and Jews, noting that the Holy Prophet of Islam (PTUI!) urged his lover companions to respect the rights of the "People of the Book".
He said Moslems have had friendly interactions with Christians since the early years of the advent of Islam.
| Also not so friendly interactions, depending upon mood. As for the Jews, whose interactions Russia's Muftis Council official neglects somehow to mention, in Mohammed's tale even the rocks and the trees cry out for Moslems to kill them. |
Elsewhere in his remarks, Muhammadov underlined Russia's commitment to dialogue among faiths. |
