Jordanian King for Inter- Islamic dialogue

The Jordanian King Abdullah II has assigned his uncle prince Hassan to promote the Islamic dialogue with the aim to show the moderate image of Islam. This was expressed in a message published by the Jordanian dailies.

The King said: " I assume you will resume the great civilized project in sustaining and reactivate dialogue among peoples of various Islamic sects as well as to perform a mission which is very dear to us in highlighting the Islamic identity in its moderate reality." The King asked in his message to his uncle which coincided with the fall of the first day of Ramadan to organize meetings, conferences and Forums to encourage dialogue and contacts between Islam and Christianity.

Prince Hassan, the former Jordanian crown prince, had under his patronage in October 1999 in Amman the 7th conference for peace and religion with the participation of representatives for Islam, Christianity and Judaism and other sects in Amman.
