Sinopsis

High school students around the country used to take a course that introduced them to many of the worldâÇÖs religions.áIn classes filled with children of many beliefs, teachers would talk about how a particular faith developed and how it spread.Today, when it seems that the faithful in one religion are inevitably taking potshots at believers in another religion, people may have forgotten how life was in past eras.áPeople of different faiths used to live and work side by side with little concern.áAt one time, Jews served as advisors and heads of state in Muslim countries.áChristians and Jews worked together in Catholic Spain.áChristians lived in harmony with Muslims in the Middle East.Once, Jewish and Christian icons could be found in the KaâÇÖbaa, the holiest religious object in Islam, located in Mecca, the holiest city in Islam.áEven today, Jerusalem hosts the Dome on the Rock, a sacred Islamic mosque, side by side with the Wailing Wall, the last surviving piece of the great Jewish Temple that once existed there.Visitors to Jerusalem, the capital of Israel, can see religious Jews, wrapped in prayer shawls, trudging along ancient streets along with Muslims and Christians.áOverhead, the cry of the Islamic muezzin, calling the faithful to prayer, rings out along with the tolling bells of Christian churches.áThe flag of Israel with the Star of David in its center flutters in the same breeze.Such situations are too rare.áMembers of the three religions seem to fight more than they pray together. Over time, the three great religions have become separated by seemingly unbridgeable chasms.áActually, they are very much alike.âÇó They share a common heritage.áThey each tie their history to a single event and a single person who lived maybe 4,000 years ago.âÇó They worship the same God.âÇó They have similar holidays.áEaster, for example, the holiest day in the Christian calendar, is tied directly to Passover, the most significant holiday in Judaism.âÇó They each believe Jerusalem is a sacred city.There are many more links between the three faiths than differences.The passing years have clouded how much Judaism, Christianity and Islam have in common.áIn fact, those comparative religion classes arenâÇÖt offered any more in public schools.áToo many people today have no idea how much these religions share.Maybe itâÇÖs time to review the past as a way to create a peaceful path into the future.
