We have a duty to teach tolerance to Muslim in west

By John Vashahi

Recent violence and terror attacks in the west by Muslims, is very important and alarming.

We as a Christian we need to engage more with Muslims, evangelise them in right way, invite them to debate and dialogue and teach them tolerance and setting a good example for them and showing them the real differences between Islam and Christianity.

Islam is lacking a tolerance, we need to teach tolerance to Muslims, having a debate with them, joint cultural organisation are very good start.

Avoiding Muslims is not going to help any one by any way. We need to engage with them. If we do not engage in 20 years time we will have separated Muslim area in the west. We should remember many Muslims in many different levels are not happy with Islam.

You may saw or heard some preachers who call themselves fire preachers in very attacking way start to saying what ever they like to Muslims, you may also saw or heard some preachers who saying there is no differences between Islam and Christianity and very liberal and pluralistic and no fire at all!!

I think both are not helpful. We need some thing in middle. We need to preach to Muslims in right way. Why Hudson Taylor and early missionaries in Africa and else where started to wear local dress, using local hair style, food and learning language? Well those great elders knew what it needed to be done and we need to use it here as well.
