During lunch I was talking to a Catholic priest and a young Moslem
man. When the waiter passed by carrying a tray, everyone served
themselves except the Moslem, who was observing the annual fast
prescribed in the Koran.
When lunch was over and the people were leaving, one of the guests
could not refrain from commenting: "see how fanatic the Moslems
are! It's a good job you have nothing in common with them."
"But we do," said the priest. "They try to serve
God as much as I do. We just follow different laws."
And he added: "what a pity that people only see the differences
that separate them from one another. If they looked with more love,
they would see mainly what we have in common - and that would be
the solution to half of the world's problems."
