ISLAM-CHRISTIAN DIALOGUE

165 they are the strongest centres of power that give voice to the Islam of the 21st century without fear of protest. Natural- ly, the lack of an extended middle class encourages the contagion and spread of such messages. Finally: Allowme to quote an excerpt from the message of the Ambrosian Centre of Documentation for Religions-CADR- ad- dressed in 2011 to Italian and European parliamentarians to promote an attitude of young Muslims towards non-violence of hearts: At the political level it is important that the West, in technological or market exchanges, knows how to unite or su- bordinate cultural exchanges with crite- ria of reciprocity, especially for the pe- ople's base, to the effective promotion in the country of the values of civil and religious freedom for all without any discrimination and that, in this regard, there is intense monitoring. "To ask the Arab world to work on education, on the media, on textbooks in schools and even to invite to this line of education and pe- ace, the imams who have in their hands the formidable instrument of sermons in mosques, where it would be appro- priate to proclaim also the verses of the Koran that underline God's will towards religious plurality and the commitment to compete for good in God's mercy". It just so happens that the biggest violence happens on Friday when you leave the mosques. The best response to extre- mism is to create a united international front based on universal standards of freedom of belief and religion. And so, inter-religious dialogue remains a commitment reserved for the elites. On the other hand, ways should be found to make this heritage pass through - mo- dest as it may be, but it exists - from summits to the street and especially in the field of teaching - in schools, univer- sities - to administration and the formu- lation of laws.
