The Sovereign expressed hope that the Marrakesh Conference, which is bringing together for the first time, parliamentarians, a large number of religious leaders, distinguished scholars, experts and researchers from all corners of the world, “will come up with a rational and convincing response to the drifts towards intolerance, hatred, contempt for religions, and the treatment of people based on their faith, ethnicity or the color of their skin.” In a message he addressed this Tuesday to the participants in the International Parliamentary Conference on “Dialogue of Religions… Let’s Cooperate for a Common Future,” held in Marrakesh June 13 – 15, the King stressed that however, “this cannot be achieved unless we put words into action, show a keenness to revisit the concept of interfaith dialogue and achieve a quantum leap in collective awareness of the importance of dialogue and coexistence, and of the perils represented by persistent reclusiveness, fanaticism and introversion.”
King Mohammed VI affirmed that interfaith dialogue, meaningful coexistence, understanding and cooperation for the accomplishment of humanitarian goals would be key levers to build on in order to spare humanity the evils of strife, affliction and suffering.
