The Imam and the Pastor - 39 minute documentary - trailer

In the 1990s, Imam Ashafa and Pastor Wuye led opposing militias in Northern Nigeria. Now the two men work together bridging religious conflicts that have killed thousands.

In recent decades, tens of thousands of Nigerians have been killed in communal clashes between Christians and Muslims. "We formed a militia to protect our people". states Pastor Wuye. "My hate for the Muslims then had no limits". The victims of his militia included Imam Ashafa's spiritual leader and two cousins. The Imam spent three years planning revenge. Then one day, a sermon on forgiveness changed his life. The two men met and "gradually the relationship began to grow". They played a leading role in negotiating a historic peace accord. As Imam Ashafa explains, "even though we differ in some theological issues, we will make the world a safer place".

What is this nonsense that some of you people say of others' religions? Everyone should stick to his beliefs and should NOT waste his time spreading spiteful lies intended to damage another person's religion. As an uninformed person, I dare not say anything about Judaism or Christianity because I do not know of them. The hate is blinding you. With hate and a passion to destroy you will be blind and stupid.

This video is a perfect example of people who have lost their destructive passions.

I was going to watch this, but I wonder if there will just be a false equality presented here. The difference between Christianity and Islam is that Christianity has no commands for believers to convert (forcibly, if needed), subdue or do violence against unbelievers. Islam does.

@adenola At least Christianity is a religion. Where as Islam is a nasty movement by the brainwashed who neither want to do anything nor want let others do. Just shout Allah allah and read that black-book. Its origin is nasty and everything is in disguise, fooling people & no good for humans rather applies on Animals. Aware people around you.
