Mosque shows the way to peaceful coexistence
Jumana Al Tamimi; 11/9/08
A newly built masjid in a Jordanian city was named Al Maseeh Eisa Bin Mariam (Jesus Christ Son of Mary) in a bid to show Muslims and Christians can coexist. This comes amid what many Jordanians and Muslims describe as increasing enmity between Islam in the West. “In this way, we want to emphasise that Jesus is loved by all Muslims,” the masjid’s imam, Jamal Safarati, was quoted as saying in press reports. “Muslims don’t disagree on that,” he added.
