Why Christians, Muslims are in conflict

 by Christiana T. Alabi, Kaduna
Christians and Muslims are not living in peace because they don’t understand themselves, the founder of Peace Revival and Reconciliation Foundation of Nigeria, Pastor Yohanna Y. Buru has said.
He made this statement yesterday in Kaduna while hosting Muslims who joined their Christian brothers to break their fast which started yesterday.
“We are veiling the truth and not unveiling the truth. We are not telling ourselves the truth, we must tell ourselves the truth no matter what it will cost us, whether you are Christian or Muslim,” he said.
He said the Christians do not know Islam because the Holy Bible did not talk about Islam but that the Quran have hints about Christianity, Judaism and the Bible.
“There was Islamic civilization in this country for about 500 to 600 years before the advent of Christianity. So, I want the Muslims to know that you are the ones that will sympathize with Christians for not understanding you; you should understand with Christians for not understanding you and don’t blame them for not understanding you because they don’t know what you know,” he said.
Pastor Buru urged the two religions not to think or believe that a particular religion does not want peace, saying even animals want peace.
