Diversity and Coexistence

<p>Modern states and societies promote a culture of coexistence tolerance and pluralism and are striving to advance the thought theory and culture of a pluralistic society.</p><p>However actual changes in human thought and culture-in values customs and traditions-remain limited. Such change is a complex process; it cannot be achieved simply by preaching or promoting change. </p><p>Racist crimes continue to occur and are often even more brutal than in the past. Many societies and countries still suffer from hatred of the other-particularly those who are different in terms of race or faith. The resulting instability in turn hinders economic development and prosperity. </p><p>In this book the author presents a new vision for how to achieve coexistence in a diverse society. He explores why coexistence is so important in Islam and introduces a realistic model as to how it can be achieved among peoples of all types and backgrounds.</p><p>The model has already been achieved in the United Arab Emirates which has made it possible for people of all nationalities faiths races and languages-without exception-to coexist in peace and harmony.</p>
