Christian-Muslim Dialogue in the United States: A Muslim Perspective‪.‬

A personal journey into interreligious dialogue Meetings with Christians in Pakistan. My first encounter with Christian ministers and missionaries started in 1972 in Islamabad, Pakistan. Three Protestant missionaries working at a Christian study center at Rawalpindi approached the director of the Islamic Research Institute to exchange their views with Muslim researchers at the IRI on different topics in Islamic studies. These missionaries were working in Islamic studies and doing research on modern Islamic movements. Their initial conversation led to the idea that these Christian missionaries and scholars of Islam would help the younger Muslim researchers of IRI by teaching them certain research methodologies and helping them improve their writing skills in English.
