Manama, September 28 (BNA): Ignorance is the first enemy of peace, so it is our duty to learn, share and live together with the principles of faith in a spirit of mutual respect and love – King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa.
This noble expression of global sympathy, tolerance that transcends material boundaries, fanaticism, fanaticism and rejection of the other is the premise of the Declaration of the Kingdom of Bahrain, the Bahraini peace document to the world.
With these wise and inspiring words, His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa outlined Bahrain’s approach to peaceful coexistence, dialogue and openness to the world with all its religions, sects, cultures and ethnicities without any discrimination or intolerance.
His Majesty King Hamad, through the inspiring meanings of the declaration, emphasized the essence of the principles of the Kingdom’s domestic and international policies based on ensuring the right of religious belief, the practice of worship, and living in Bahrain on the blessing of peace, security and love. and respect.
Bahrain has made great efforts to consolidate and build on these principles as one of the most prominent results of the comprehensive development process led by His Majesty the King. No wonder Bahrain has a unique historical experience that it has enjoyed for thousands of years – peaceful coexistence.
From its early days thousands of years ago to the present, Bahrain has welcomed all religions, sects and cultures, making it an ideal destination for all who seek peaceful coexistence, mutual acceptance and freedom of religion.
While manifestations of this freedom appear everywhere in Bahrain, it is ubiquitous in the capital, Manama.
Manama stands as a distinguished city with a deeply rooted human and civilization heritage, serving as a great example of a successful meeting point for all who came, settled and found a safe place of worship.
Bahrain took the initiative to accommodate all people and their beliefs, and was a pioneer in hosting the first mosques, churches and temples.
In a world increasingly beset by violence, fanaticism, fanaticism and extremism, Bahrain, living up to its ancient reputation as an oasis of peace and serenity, wanted to help put an end to fierce chaos and destructive fanaticism.
Today, Bahrain boasts a range of initiatives launched over the past few years to bring cultures, religions, beliefs and civilizations closer together through open communications and meaningful dialogues.
The initiatives reached different countries and continents, different religions and beliefs. The challenges were numerous, but Bahrain’s tenacity, inspired by the initiatives of His Majesty, is legendary.
Thanks to the vision and endeavors of His Majesty the King, Bahrain today enjoys a high level of appreciation, respect and international praise for its efforts in promoting peaceful coexistence among peoples, which contributes to spreading the culture of peace that the world needs a little before.
Bahrain’s motive is to spread the language of dialogue based on understanding and peaceful coexistence, regardless of the many differences between religions, sects, races and cultures. Such a motive is based on the belief that the world must build on what unites peoples and brings them closer and rejects what divides them.
Hence the importance of the pivotal role of His Majesty King Hamad in achieving an enlightened, comprehensive and open vision of mutual acceptance and peaceful coexistence.
