ISLAM'S COMMON WORD Chris discusses the terror attack in Paris where more than a hundred people have been killed. Also discussed is an Islamic initiative towards Christian leaders throughout the world. The interfaith program is called "A Common Word Between Us and You," and is based on a verse from the Qur'an which says: "Say: O People of the Scripture! Come to a common word between us and you: that we worship none but God, and that we shall ascribe no partner unto Him ..." But what does this verse actually mean? Liberal Christian leaders responded to the Islamic initiative by offering an "apology" on behalf of Christianity towards Islam. Was this truly appropriate? And is it possible for Christians to reach a common theological understanding with the Islamic world?
