Witnessing messages of hate spreading discord among people.


At the core of all the faith systems and traditions is the recognition that we are all in this together and that we need to love and support one another to live in harmony and peace in an environmentally sustainable world. Our world continues to be beset by conflict and intolerance with a rising number of refugees and the internally displaced in a hostile and unwelcoming world around them. We are also, unfortunately, witnessing messages of hate spreading discord among people.

Deriving mainly from religious radicalism, it has caused many casualties in many countries around the world — without making any exceptions between east, west, south, or north.
