I have always been a vocal advocate of recognition of Israel, normal relations between neighbors based on the principle of peaceful-coexistence and relations based on tolerance, peace and love between different religious and faith groups. I have been writing articles to detoxify the minds of the People at large, convey to them “our” message of peace and non-violence and make them understand better “our” efforts to make this world a more peaceful and serene place to live for them and for the generations to come by joining hands to fight against terrorism.        

God, we pray for the power to be gentle;
the strength to be forgiving;
the patience to understand;
and the endurance to accept the consequences
of holding to what we believe to be right.

May we put our trust in the power of good to overcome evil
and the power of love to overcome hatred.

We pray for the vision to see and the faith to believe
in a world emancipated from violence,
a new world where fear shall no longer lead men to commit injustice,
nor selfishness make them bring suffering to others.

Help us to devote our whole life and thought and energy
to the task of making peace,
praying always for the inspiration and the power
to fulfill the destiny for which we and all men were created.

Amen.
