1. The Dialogue of Everyday Life
- The dialogue of everyday life is the dialogue of courtesy, openness, and becoming good neighbours with those who we meet from other religions.
- We seek to understand the challenges other cultures may face where their religion may be a minority.
2. The Dialogue of Action
- As Christians, Catholics are encouraged to work with members of other religions for the well-being of humanity.
- We are called to safeguard the rights of individuals, promote people aspiration for happiness, to protect nature, to show solidarity with the victims of injustice, and to work toward peace and justice.
3. The Dialogue of Theological Exchange
- It is important that church leaders and theologians
take part in serious intellectual dialogues.
- We need to understand each others religious
traditions, way of life, and spiritual values.
- Once mutual trust has been gained, these
exchanges can tackle more difficult issues.
- Bitterness from past actions, inconsistencies in each
other positions, prejudices, and human rights.
4. The Dialogue of Religious Experience
- People from different religious traditions come together to share in their spiritual rituals and activities
- This type of spiritual dialogue can lead not only to a
deep appreciation of other religions, but also a deeper appreciation of our own faith.

Short Article Summary / Points:
Article 3: Opinion: 'The Muslims are coming!' Why Islamophobia is so dangerous Islamophobia:
-dislike of or prejudice against Islam or Muslims, especially as a political force.
- "Islamophobia is often perpetuated by fear and a sense that Muslims are taking over our jobs, our homes and our lives, thus leading to a polarizing society and the so-called clash of civilizations."
- "Them vs. Us" Mentality taking over our minds against Muslim people
- Could be due to bitterness from past actions/events such as the 9/11 attack and the presence of ISIS that creates a negative and inaccurate stereotype of Muslims, portraying them as Extremist Terrorists, when in reality many of them are harmless, and ISIS is only an extremist division, accepting no other faith and do not belief in religious pluralism.
- Many newspapers, websites, journals, articles, etc. have tried to negatively influence the perception of Muslims.
- Recent news coverage of Muslim have been more negative than positive, especially post 9/11, and words such as "militancy" and "radicalism" have been used to depict them
-Words such as "'radical," "fanatical" and "fundamentalist" are common adjectives to describe them.
