Commenting on the visit, Dr. Ibrahim Al-Nuaimi: The Center is pleased with this visit, especially as our relations are distinguished with the various British parties engaged in the issue of interfaith dialogue, especially the British Episcopal Bishops and Muslims in Britain, who represent the bridge of dialogue between Britain and the Islamic world.

Dr. Al-Nuaimi added: “Religions as we know carry within them noble and human values, all of them, all together, not divided, and what we see as violations of human rights under religious cover stems from the misapplication of religion by religious people, not from the religion itself. Weeks ago at the 13th Doha Conference on Interfaith Dialogue. “

“I am currently working on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the possibility of adding what can be called the global civil society to develop relations between religious believers in general, in order to prevent the challenges that the world has witnessed in the last decade, such as cartoons in Denmark, The French newspaper, Charles Hebdo, in France, through examining the possibility of adding a paragraph in the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights to ensure respect for religious relations and symbols of all religions, and for this visit the Center, to meet with officials to study this matter.

“Dialogue with other religions is important, but more important is dialogue within the Muslim world and among the followers of all sects within the Muslim world. We believe that the absence of this dialogue leads to division and division, and perhaps foreign domination of parts of the Islamic world. “He said.
