I am a Muslim from Egypt who had the privilege to study at the University of Notre Dame.
My academic experience at Notre Damae took me back centuries to one ohe greatest moments in human civilization; Andalusia.
 This was a time when the three Abrahamic faith believers; Juadism, Christianity and Islam were living in a culmination  of wealth and peace due to the mutual respect and common believe  they were sharing rather than emphasizing their differences. 

Spain was eventually to be one of the main enablers of Europe's renaissance due to the plethora of intellectuality in literature and different sciences Anadalusia left.
All of this wouldn't have been possible without the wisdom found in the ethics and values found in the holy Torah, Bible and Quran.
Recent events proved that humanity is in an urgent need  to restore this wisdom. I hope Pope Franzis meeting with Shaikh Altayeb will lay the foundation for the 1st step to a long cooperation and mutual understanding in this direction.
