Resolution V.34

Christian - Muslim relations

This Conference:

noting that -
1. to the Muslim community, a secular state is a state of hostility to religion;
2. to the Christian community, a secular state is the separation of church and state and a guarantee of freedom of religion; and
3. the experience of Christian - Muslim relations calls attention to the issue of the appropriate relationship between politics and religion,
supports the idea of a national state in which all religions are free to establish and propagate themselves without the state and religion becoming either interchangeable or mutually hostile.
