peaceful coexistence of different religions.

the Jordanian minister.

Our goal is emphasized, is to reduce the impact of Islamophobia that dominates in many Western countries, explaining the bigger picture of Islam.
"Obviously though we recognize that this requires a lot of effort so I asked everyone who came in contact, through this project, to get Jordan as an example and promote the
moderate image of Islam.
Also appealing to the western media seeking to adopt such an approach of peaceful coexistence and mutual understanding and dialogue "he said.
The problem with Israel is political, not religious
As regards relations with the Arab world, Israel, Mr. Daoud clarified that "our problem does not apply to Jews per se, but the state of Israel has occupied certain territories.
