A Common Word between Us and You is an open letter, dated 13 October 2007, from leaders of the Islamic religion to leaders of the Christian religion. It calls for peace between Muslims and Christians and tries to work for common ground and understanding between both religions.
'A Common Word' is probably the most important initiative ever taken by Muslims towards Christians, and has long term implications not only for inter-faith relations but also for the peace of our world. This film succeeds remarkably well in telling its story and drawing out its significance. It is a major achievement that promises to enable A Common Word to have the impact it deserves.
