Coalition of Jews, Christians & Muslims for Peace & Freedom

Given all the "religious" conflicts, many people would think it impossible for people from the three Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) to agree on anything.
But we do. And we are not only The Coalition of Jews, Christians & Muslims for Peace and Freedom, we are also The All Faiths Coalition for Peace and Freedom.
We also include Agnostics and Atheists as The Humanitarian Coalition for Peace and Freedom, because the message we advocate is in the best interest of all humanity, regardless of religion, race, nationality, or culture.
We welcome you you join us.

Greetings and peace be with you, and thank you for starting this thread.
The same God hears all our prayers, despite all our differences, and you will never look into the eyes of anyone who does not matter to God.
Last year I had the privilege to go to Jerusalem, and stand by the Wailing Wall, which is a sacred place to the Jews. But when you walk back fifty paces and look above the wall, you see the golden dome of ‘The Dome of the Rock Mosque, and the Al Aqsa sacred to Islam.
It is said in Judaism and Christianity, that God commanded Abraham to sacrifice his son in the region of Mount Moriah. It is also said that God commanded Solomon to build the Temple Mount on Mount Moriah, this is a huge structure, a small part of it is what we know as the Wailing Wall, or Western Wall. On top of the Temple Mount, God commanded Solomon to build a Temple, that will house ‘The Ark of the Covenant’ better known for the Ten Commandments. Jesus prayed on the Temple Mount, and when he healed people he sent them to the Temple to give thanks.
The Temple was destroyed and rebuilt twice, and the Two Mosques were built on top of the Temple Mount, were the Temple once stood. The Dome is said to be the place where the prophet pbuh, ascended up to heaven on his winged horse.
It seems that God has linked Judaism, Christianity and Islam together on this one sacred place. God could have made our lives much easier if he had placed our three religions a hundred miles apart, but is seems that God has some greater purpose by bringing all three religions together in one place.
Today there is tension in Jerusalem, most of the Christian holy places are within the walls of the Muslim Community, this is surrounded by the Jews.
But why would God link all these things together?
In the spirit of searching for a greatest meaning of One God

Eric. You ask:
"But why would God link all these things together?"
God does have a plan and everything always goes as planned. That people should search for God has never been in God's plan.
God is so extremely easy to get to know.
People are the ones that add the complexity.
God has given so many clues and yet people willingly remain clueless.
God gave the Jewish a chance. The Jewish Israelites want nothing to do with what God has in mind. Next came the Christians who follow no one but themselves. Then came the opportunity for those now known as Muslims but they too have their own ideas as if Allah needs people to worship and say God is great and wonderful bla, bla, bla.
People just will never stop being about themselves in general.
Why do you seek for a God that makes things easier? When people are fully capable of getting along to make "Things" easier.
God only appears to those who appear willing to do God's Willing. God then expects one to love all others as one's owned self.
That easy.
Everyone is born into the same group called humanity. Humans separate themselves. God has no interest in any land, mountain, or human holy place. God has everything beyond this creation and creation already.
But to say that God would accept for everyone to group together while including those who will never accept the One True God is silly.
Everyone or even One who accepts God does so by accepting others through the willingness to see everyone as valuable. This in no way is a group effort but an individual's effort.
Groups may form but usually everyone counts on one person when in a group and individual effort is lost.
Worrying about the "searching for the greatest meaning of One God" needs to be seen as "searching for a greatest meaning of One PERSON towards others while appearing to God as willing".

Eric, thank you for your kind remarks.
As for your question as to why God would want Jews, Christians and Muslims together, it's because the founders of their religions were inspired by the same God -- which now can be called the Eternal, Omnipresent Great Spirit-Parent of us all.
If you go the the site I cited, you will find links to articles that explain. They reveal the error of the Jews, Christians and Muslims who do not realize their God is One and the same -- and is also known by Buddhists as the Universal Consciousness, by Hindus as Brahman, and by other names by other religions of the world.

Robert, I think I understand your point, and I think much of what you say is good.
I'm not sure I understand what you meant when you said: "to say that God would accept for everyone to group together while including those who will never accept the One True God is silly."
If I understand you correctly, you are saying that everyone must accept "The One True God." If that is what you mean, that becomes problematic.
The teacher I've learned from solves that problem by explaining what God really is. He reminds Christians that Moses wrote "God is not a man, nor a son of man," and that Jesus said, "You have not heard God's voice or seen God's shape at any time."
He updates the idea that God is "Father" by saying God is the Great Spirit-Parent of all. And he creates compatibility with other religions by saying that God is the Divine Light-Energy-Source of our existence, the Essence of all life and form, and the primordial "Word" that is made flesh in us all.
This concept should be acceptable to all people, whether they believe God is a Supreme Being or entity of some kind, or whether they beleive God is pure Spirit-Consciousness.

I forgot to add that my teacher has delivered his written message over the last eight years, but he has recently made his songs available to hear.
You can listen to them here.

I accordance with the topic been discussed on this thread, I will say that it's been very informative and i think that other people on here should make their input too.
Religion, which is the belief of a supernatural being; has become the major reason why brothers and sisters are hating on themselves, father disowns son, ciaos flying all around in the family and it generates unrest in the community. According to human rights, it does not matter what anyone really believes in, or what they worship; yet everyone's boundaries is to be respected and not clown about.
This coalition should go through the heart of citizens of every nations and spread the message of oneness. A clear example is, identical twins still do not have the same DNA. So we will always differ in our own ways.
I want to say that I will support this coalition come rain, come sun!
