Reinforcing inter-faith bonds
Egypt, Religion, 4/25/2005

Following a few months of resentment and fury as reaction to the murder of Egyptian Christian family of Armanius in New Jersy city, final investigations came to the conclusion that it was a normal robbery act.

On the fringes of reciprocal understanding between Islam and Christianity, a solidarity agreement was signed last Wednesday between Islamic and Christian prominent clerics in the Mayor headquarter of the city.

This agreement confirmed full rejection to the hate and accusations with no evidence.

Signors promised the boosting and encouragement of efforts that target the establishment of bridges between religions to promote understanding and starting a new phase of love and cooperation.

Attendants and the signors of this agreement were of major Islamic and Christian clerics in New Jersy, as they all advocated for peace.

As the Mayor of the city said, this step is considered the best to take for rapproachement and respect of the other.
