Abstract
Inter-religious dialogue, and certainly Christian – Muslim dialogue, depends on the participants. There is the “dialogue between the converted,” not at all to be ridiculed. Although different in their core beliefs, they really understand and appreciate each other, because they unite in deep rooted values, not on a merely humanistic basis, but because of their beliefs. They not only strengthen each other against the animosity of the “not yet converted,” but they radiate their values to those spiritually closer to them and thus will have a longtime effect within their communities. Then there is dialogue and discourse between open minded, mainstream intellectuals of different religious intensity and orientations. These dialogues, informally taking place the whole time within the many NGOs, formally in the many seminars, or when students invite speakers, lead to political, social, and cultural openness, to the breaking down of prejudices. Even friendly encounters, silaturahmi, with unbending hardliners might have long positive effects.
