The world needs look no further than the UAE to see that Islam is a religion of peace, religious leaders meeting in Abu Dhabi said on Thursday.
With residents from more than 200 countries living side-by-side, practising their religions with ease, it is clear that the country’s main religion is one of tolerance and togetherness, they said.
Rev Heejin Kang of Abu Dhabi’s Korean Methodist Church, said: “I am a Pastor and always I tell the Korean people that they are living here very peacefully in the UAE, and they also feel proud of the secured life in the Emirates.”
Any misconceptions Rev Kang had about practising his religion freely in the UAE were quickly swept aside upon his arrival, he said on the sidelines of a lunch hosted by Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak, Minister of Culture, Youth, and Community Development. Details
