IV.
Conclusion

As I said at the beginning, these are just a few of the misunderstandings between Muslims and Christians.  If you feel I have not been fair, or that I have left out any of greater importance than these, please say so and help me to learn.

My burden is that we discuss our faiths fairly, clearly, and with respect and sympathy.  We would all agree that God is to be served with our entire lives and hearts.  We must come to a place where we can accept our differences and similarities with understanding and sympathy, yet without compromising our convictions. Let us approach each other sincerely and seek to correct our mutual misunderstandings.

Thank you for allowing me to address you.  May God bless you as you seek Him and as you seek truth.
