The dialogue of the “Arab Group for Christian- Muslim Dialogue” is not simply a dialogue of compatriots, it is also a dialogue among believers who perceive in this effort of theirs and applied expression of their religious principles, principles that give substance to the meaning of pluralism, mutual recognition, the unqualified dignity of the human being and the values of justice. The Arab Group for Christian- Muslim Dialogue aims to 1) enrich Christian- Muslim Relations 2) prevent tensions and conflicts 3) lead towards reconciliation, citizenship, equality and the freedom of religion.
