A sad day.

Today, August 1, 2009 is a sad day. 

On August 1, 2009 six of our fellow human beings, four women, one man and a child died in religious unrest between Christians and Muslims in Pakistan (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/8179823.stm).   Pakistan is struggling to deal with the Taliban and this mistrust and consequent conflagration between Christian and Muslim Pakistanis only makes that struggle more difficult.

As I stated in my post First Step toward World Peace (<FONT color=#810081>http://www.weonepeople.com/oneworld/2009/09/first-step-to-world-peace.html</FONT>) we, people of all races, cultures and religions need to engage in honest and earnest dialogue if we are to defuse this situation and reach understanding, thus avoiding confrontation .  We need to talk.  We need to understand each other and from this understanding build trust.

This process of dialog, understanding and mutual trust would best be initiated by leaders of world religions as I proposed in my post <FONT color=#810081>Trinity, Trimurti and a wish for a Holy Triumvirate</FONT> (<FONT color=#810081>http://www.weonepeople.com/oneworld/2009/09/trinity-trimurti-hope-for-a-new-triumvirate.html</FONT>).  At times like this to me this becomes more than a wish.  I becomes a fervent hope.
