I Agree

Dear Rie,

Thank you very much for your comment. Every one should be free to believe in the way he or she likes. No one should force anyone to convert to another way. It is a question of what you feel in your heart and what you think in your mind. If you cannot find the peace in your heart and the truth with your mind, you will NOT find them elsewhere. I fully agree with you that it is about respect for people's individuality. Extremism, fanaticism and anger can Not bring justness nor justice; mutual understanding and dia-logue [in the original meaning of the word as dia-logos (twofold logos)] will do. I highly appreciate His Holiness's call to an open heart and mind dialogue.

Warm regards, Aziz
