Vatican – 2013

(Read the browseable version)

Culture is an essential component to improve the synergy between production factors and decision-making powers; it acts as a bridge between the human resources of a company, especially if it is multinational operating on two continents or at planetary level. North Africa and the Middle East represent a market of over three hundred million inhabitants just a few hours away from Italy but which receives little investment attention outside the energy field. It is necessary to develop a strategy to favour the expansion of our medium enterprise towards these markets with a profitable return for the actors in terms of development of the exchange area, of the African society in this case Arab society, and of return on investment.

MUSLIM CHRISTIANS DIALOGUE FOR A BETTER WORLD

The mobility of people is a right that is now considered primary in every corner of the planet, and how it involves the necessary creation of intercultural relationships is certainly one of the hottest issues of the moment; Rotary International is well aware of how important this issue is and addresses it through the “Service for Peace. Dialoguing to live together, what rules? In order to live together in a fruitful dialogue, we need to know each other; knowledge starts with truth, respect for others, and the ability to overcome prejudices. Rediscovering one’s identity, a term that is sometimes used inappropriately, is a fundamental affirmation to make oneself known and understood, never to prevail, to bring one’s presence and knowledge across continents. Consider the immigrant first of all as a man with his own dignity, rights and duties. This is the starting point of the small contribution to the understanding of the Arab world, an important component of immigration in Italy, to reach a real and lasting peace in the Middle East.

PARISH – 3-2014

Dr. Giuseppe Samir Eid presented Don Walter with some clarifications on the apostolic exhortation of Pope Francis “Evangelii gaudium” to which our parish priest willingly replied. Dear Don Walter, the Muslims “worship with us a single, merciful God” (E. G. n. 252). I would take this sentence with caution. It is true that Muslims worship a unique and merciful God. But this sentence suggests that the two conceptions of God are equal. Instead, in Christianity God is Trinity in its essence, plurality united by love. And that is a little more than just clemency and mercy. We have two quite different conceptions of divine uniqueness.

The point of view

My name is Giuseppe Samir Eid, partner of RC Milan Southeast. As a Rotarian, I want to make our voice heard so that the political bodies, together the European Parliament, will always be effective promoters of justice, freedom, and peaceful co-existence among the people of the Mediterranean area. The vast majority of Arabs live in extreme poverty because demographic development is not accompanied by adequate economic growth. We need a radical change in the formation of citizens, a problem of culture, in order to make everyone understand that they are equal and that violence is intolerable.
