About This Book
September 11, 2001, highlighted the urgent need for greater understanding among religious traditions. Specifically, the lack of acceptance and appreciation between Muslims and Christians was suddenly catapulted into headlines around the world. Now, in the aftermath of war in Iraq, the need for understanding and respect among religious traditions and various cultures becomes ever more important. It is my hope that this book might nurture that mutual respect that fosters peace and justice, for they are God's desire for us, and gifts that all races and religions seek.

Francis
De
Beer
believes
that
the
real
recipient
was
the
Sul-
tan
himself
AND
that
the
head
is
also
that
of
the
Sultan.
“In
our
opinion,
it
is
the
head
of
a
Saracen,
and
more
precisely
that
of
the
sultan.
Compare
Francis’s
graphic
with
the
sultan
in
Giotto’s
fresco
at
the
Basilica
of
Assisi.
The
analogy
is
a
striking
one.”

says:
“the

overwhelming.”
