The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz received here Wednesday evening a group of participants of Madrid conference on dialogue among followers of religions and civilizations. Speaking on the occasion, the King said "In the name of Allah Almighty, Most Gracious, and Most Merciful. Honorable brothers: I would like to welcome you and hope that this dialogue will constitute a beginning for the good of the humanity. The human-being has no one else other than his brother whatever is the case, and I do believe that the previous days and years will not return, God willing. Whatever has taken place in terms of killing, enmity and excesses on others' rights is quite enough. Thanks to Allah Almighty, who has made you followers of all religions, because religions are immaculate, and all of them are sent by God. Allah urges us to enhance fraternity and to do good things for those who are disabled, poor, needy and sick. I believe you and others, Allah willing, urge for the love of the human being towards his brother. When the person thinks about the past and the mistakes that had been committed, he asks:" What are the causes?" As you know the human soul is certainly prone to evil, and I think the world has become aware of these matters because these have no benefits. Till when blood shedding could continue and why there be enmity and for what justification? Allah Almighty in all religions has urged for mercy and I think that any person who commits a sin against another person will repent and become remorseful to the greatest extent. Why such an aggression. Religions have nothing to do with such kinds of acts, but it is Satan and the political acts that have penetrated into and confounded religions. --MORE
