The religious scholars I have consulted are passionate about the need for political leaders to educate themselves in the varieties of faith and to see religion more as a potential means for reconciliation than as a source of conflict.

About This Quote

In the time of the Prophet Muhammad, there were no religious scholars with political authority. The scholars themselves were embroiled in fighting for political power. They spent thousands of years fighting each other and those they considered heretics. It is only now, after those religious leaders have died off, that a new generation is rising up to take their place. These new religious leaders are more concerned about reconciliation than conflict and they hope that by educating themselves in the variety of faith, they may be able to bring together people from different backgrounds into one unified community.
