Christianity and Islam represent two great civilizations that have not only influenced one another but owe a lot to each other.  In today's global context we are inseparably linked.

At the same time, both Christianity and Islam are two great "missionary faiths."  The followers of both are charged with the responsibility to call people to consider the claims that they make and decide to either accept or reject them.  We are Christians.  As Christians we openly confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.  We desire that all people have the opportunity to honestly consider the claims Jesus made as recorded in the Gospels.  We respect the right of Muslims to proclaim Islam and to call for the same kind of decision from non-Muslims.  It goes without saying that sooner or later our two faiths will come into contact with one another. 

What will this interaction be like?  Will it be characterized by conflict, hatred, war?  History gives us plenty of examples of this very thing.  Or will we see a genuine desire to understand one another and to overcome the stereotypes and misunderstandings that so many have?  We applaud the efforts made by many in the area of Muslim-Christian dialogue and discussion.

This website is for Christians as much as it is for Muslims.  Many Christians have never met a Muslim person and know very little about Islam.  Generalizations about Muslims are very common and fear of Muslim people is prevalent, even in the Church.

We believe that there is a need for Christians and Muslims to start talking with one another.  Muslims, Let's Talk is an attempt to initiate this conversation through the internet.  With your help, together we will succeed.
