“Teachings of Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad”
Five basic principles have characterized the three Abrahamic prophets: forgiveness, tolerance, compassion, courage, and justice. These same five principles make up an effective leader and lead nations to peace. Each prophet has modeled these principles throughout his life and has eternalized them through his teachings. In the situation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict war has raged on for more than seventy years. The parties to this war are followers of the Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad. If the Israelis and Palestinians would embrace the peaceful teachings of their prophets, a peaceful resolve could be reached.
This project helped reiterate the importance of following the importance of peace through the Abrahamic prophets and their teachings. It also planted a seed of faith in peace in the minds of the coming generation. The leaders of tomorrow need to build on a strong foundation of inter-faith peace, and this contest lays the groundwork for that foundation.
