Differences in opinions on a wide range of issues is
completely natural in the world. "Difference
of opinion" means different views and perspectives, which is common among
people around the world because individuals are created with different
propensity, attitude, and beliefs; they cannot be equal in terms of
thought, orientation, and /or coexistence. Therefore, the racial and religious
dissensions are unavoidable. Whereas tribalism is resulted in a kind of racism,
patriotism is due to infelt zealotry. Indeed, the stability of a nation in
terms of independence and self-sufficiency is depending on their special
homeland or thoughts and culture, so peace is a must. Peace is the best
solution to overcome the differences because such disagreement always starts
with dialogue and discussions, which is followed by arguments using different
terminology. Then it tends to harsh propaganda and finally results in fighting
and violent battles.
Hence the solution is to modify, I mean modification and
reform of ethnic affairs and religions to resolve the conflicts, which is
basically considered as the name of this conference: “International
Conference on Ethnic and Religious Conflict Resolution and Peace-building”.
This includes the entire population of the world, who are dealing with such
conflicts due to being dependent to a homeland with limited borders, a religion
or both.
One of the advantages of peace is to prevent starvation,
massacre, blood clashes and destruction. So we can say that peace should be
established based on two pillars, ethnic and religion. For that, it is
necessary to control and avoid intemperance and extremism. For example, the one
who is hardly defending his homeland, country or region, should avoid
fanaticism, which leads to clashes, destruction and casualties from both sides.
Composure
is very important, so a reformist and peacemaker should invite society to
composure and to avoid prejudice or any misjudgment against others. It is also
applied to religious followers, so that they should avoid being intolerant in
their beliefs. For example, to say what they have received within their religious
context is absolutely from God or is compulsory to accomplish as it is, because
such viewpoints will result in bigotry or hard defending of the faith,
ultimately will tend to clashes such as Jihad in Islam and so on.
When
religious followers control themselves in terms of being accountable to keep
their beliefs for themselves and not to follow the misleading social movements,
then there will not be any reason for conflicts. Because they will understand
very well that God, the lord of religions and faith knows better than human
beings how to defend the religious values, it is not necessary to fight with
others for any monotheistic belief and/ or to divide society to just and
unjust.
To establish the peace, it is very
efficient to unify the thoughts of society. I have established a universal
movement called “Monotheism without Borders,” which is totally independent of
any divine religion, but it guides the human beings to leave the bigotries and
get free of all cultural and mental intolerances, so that all stresses and
conflicts will disappear. We also say bigotry in terms of our dependencies and
interests to our homeland, nation or faith is fine if it would be managed
properly.
We
mean the management of our understanding that there is a limitation which we
have to never overreach. Sometimes there are two optional decisions for people
concerning the events, to react harshly and become nervous or to control oneself
and calm down. What so far has resulted in global conflicts and developed the
weapons of mass destruction, is the wrong decisions. The fanaticism,
hard dependency and commitment to any feeling religion or a race have caused
suspicions about others, so that so far the military industries has been
developed and the catastrophes, such as world war one and two and more recently
the middle east wars, have been occurred.
Mostly
the causes of such wars or conflicts have been the ethnic matters or uprisings
to support the religious beliefs and its legitimacy. So human beings need to be
trained and brought up in a new way to accept the reality of others, rather
than their own values and facts. When the logic is not considered, power would
be replaced so that this has caused disasters, such as demolition of countries,
economies and infrastructures or whatever else can be observed in war-torn
regions. As a reformist and peacemakers, who have suffered for long years from
religious conflicts and disagreements, I announce my request to the conference,
the respected members and participants to establish a common global environment
for providing convergence, kindness and unification, instead of radicalism and
extremism.
We
can create a unique religion between all the current faiths and beliefs because
we are all looking for “One God,” our lord! When all the Ranges and boundary
lines are destroyed, we will find that we all are “Monotheistic”
without a secondary title. Monotheistic means one who seeks for monotheism. We
are all born as Monotheists, even then ones who deny any faiths or beliefs,
because humans are naturally predisposed to believe in god. Therefore, what is
the need to separate Sharia, rituals, or religious traditions, when the
consequences of these separations will be arising hostility and disappearing
the camaraderie and friendship.
Similarly,
in ethnic issues, we should know that we are all the children of our mother
earth, which is not to belong to the place that we were born in, like in Middle
East, America, Europe, Africa and so on. Indeed, we belong to the “Earth”. If
we expand our homeland to the earth and considering ourselves as a biotype or
congener before considering that we are compatriots, the consequence of it
would be keeping peace in the world. Then, the violence goes down, and the
tension does not expand due to the national and regional affiliation
boundaries, which is caused the war and
fights for many years.
