Scholars from various faith traditions including Christianity, Hinduism and Sikhism were invited to this conference to shed light from their unique religious perspectives. The organizing committee requested that all speakers confine their answers to their respective faiths’ holy books.

Persecution and our Relationship with Allah Friday Sermon by Hadhrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad (November 11, 2011)
"When Ahmadis experience opposition, it only strengthens our faith given that the history of Prophets of God is being repeated. Without doubt we are few in number and are insignificant in the eyes of the world. They are not offended by us because we are committing a sin or a crime or indeed any kind of extremism. Their offence is borne out of our love and loyalty to God and His Messenger, our peaceable approach out of love for our homeland because we do not trample upon the rights of God’s creatures and do not become part of the extremism that has made barbarism run rampant in the country [Pakistan]. Our response is that we are the followers of that Messiah who has taught us principles of peace and conciliation in continuation of the Sunnah of his master, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him).

What is Morality? By Lubna Roohi Malik
"The Holy Qur’an lays out three basic states of man. These three states separate man from animals and spiritual men from moral men. These three states are: the natural state, the moral state, and the spiritual state. Man begins in the base, natural state, where he has the impulse to eat, drink, sleep, and perform various other natural functions. To move beyond this, man learns social culture and etiquette, which are a slightly refined natural state. To become moral, however, man needs to learn to control the natural qualities, urges, and impulses and exhibit them in the appropriate manner at the appropriate time. God Almighty says in the Holy Qur’an in 68:5 that He has endowed all humans with the ability to achieve high moral excellences."
Prohibitions in Islam: The Path to Righteousness By Humera and Naveed Malik
History bears out that when left to their own devices, humans behave like animals. They engage in cannibalism, rape, incest, murder, female infanticide, alcoholism and many other evils. The Arabs were guilty of many such vices in Jahiliyya (the pre-Islamic age of ignorance), which is why Allah included many basic prohibitions in the Holy Qur’an, in order to—in the words of the Promised Messiahas— ”turn savages into men”.

Christianity and the Crisis of Cultures
By Joseph Ratzinger, Pope Benedict XVI
Review by Shazia Sohail
"In the opinion of the Pope the greatest failure of the modern society pursuant to its break from Christianity is the recognition of a woman’s right to choose abortion for herself. He does not tell us why the unborn child, even if it is illegitimate and the result of rape or incest, must be born. Why are the rights of a potential person more valuable than those of a woman? How did he deduce from Genesis that a fetus, even in the earliest stages of its development, is a person? If something cannot exist or live on its own how can it be called a life and have rights?
