MAN AND RELIGIONSIn order to eliminate conflict at a universal level, there is need of putting down some cultural ground work on the part of intellectuals of all the various religions. We believe that just as Islam recognizes man’s personality and integrity, other religions, too, have the same outlook. In Islam, man is born free and is no one’s slave. Man is fully conscious of his own being and chooses his path based on rationality and reasoning. If the scholars and intellectuals of other religions wish to put an end to conflicts and stop terrorism, they must declare that all human beings are equal with each other.
