ISLAM-CHRISTIAN DIALOGUE

158 Mufti are recognized as religious leaders, they always remain paid by the state and the government (dictator) in office. So why is there a gap between words, inten- tions, wishful thinking, and reality? Al Kha- tami confessed it to me to the Gregorian: the moat depends on a political and not a religious problem. I wonder then, but if the religious depends on the political? It is a vicious circle on which Western politics should focus with more engraving. What do you think? What can we do about it? Thank you and congratulations. "Engage life for what worth and re- mains." The Pope and the Muslim brothers The immigration of Muslims has made us aware of the basic identity and values on which our civilisation has developed but to which many of us have become accu- stomed; I see this as an example of the wealth that can be generated by globa- lisation. Such a wealth can be achieved by offering the immigrant person dignity and the opportunity for human develop- ment for proactive integration, in contrast to exclusion. Inclusion, on the other hand, cannot mean moving a little to make room for the other, for any other. It me- ans building with reason a framework of human values, a framework for the com- mon good, and within this framework making room for those who share it, even if of different religion or culture. Without this, there is no true inclusion. This task is eminently political, and politics, if it were to be exempt from it, limiting itself to wel- coming without inclusion, would not play its role. I hope that every religious and non-reli- gious communicator, Muslim or otherwi- se, will feel committed to being a tireless peacemaker and a strenuous defender of the dignity of the human person and his inalienable rights. A last wish, no less important, is that tho- se responsible for communication of the Holy See provide for the publication and circulation in the Islamic media, radio and print media, the good intentions exchan- ged at a high level of punishment that remain truly high without reaching the people.
