Overcoming conflicts through dialogue

News

For the fourth time, the working group "interreligious dialogue neustadt" had invited invited to the common way of peace of the religions. Christians and muslims met to pray together for peace in three houses of worship.

With candle lights in their hands, the peace walk participants went to the first station in neustadt's "fatih-camii"-mosque. "Right welcome", ramazan kurt, chairman of the ditib turkish-islamic community of neustadt, buried all those present in the prayer room of the mosque. The religion of islam has the goal of leading people to happiness and inner peace, but should also apply to those people who have lost their goal and direction.

Do not confuse islam with terrorism

"Allah, the almighty, has given mankind responsibility, not to do mischief, but to build up the earth. This is possible by putting conscience, compassion and mercy, like him, in the heart of the person. We believe in the peace messages of allah, in all the prophets who convey this message to the people, in moses, in jesus, in mohammed. Our religion never condones terrorism, violence, bloodshed and attacks on the inviolable rights of others. While evaluating islam and muslims, we should not confuse islam with terrorism and muslims. With this perception, which were created as results of this evaluation, islam and the muslims are hurt", imam osman harbi exhorted.

The evaluation of muslims should not be based on a number of bad examples that are allegedly muslim or associated with islam. "So long we should stand against all those, terrorism, violence and attacks that threaten the peace". Islam protects human life! Persecution, violence and terror are a crime against humanity.

Against hatred and revenge

"Our attitude should be based on mutual cooperation, goodwill, benevolence and justice". May allah protect all mankind from hatred and violence, the believers prayed together. "From whomever we go, let us take with us love, peace and trust. May allah help all oppressed and harassed people in this world and protect us from all kinds of injustice, terrorism and any kind of violence. "O allah, help us to create peace, unity, solidarity and contentment and a safe world for future generations. Free our heart from hatred and revenge, fill it with benevolence and with pleasure. Amen".

"You are the salt of the earth, the light", pastor martin frenkler quoted words from the sermon on the mount in the evangelic city church of saint georg. "We are on the way together and station together. "We are the salt, the light of the world, and if we live by this motto, together as muslims, as christians, then we will only be able to do good in our lives, because we trust in god. That is the true mission in the christian sense", according to frenkler.

True islam in the heart is living and doing out of faith. "So we can understand the peace journey as a common religious journey, as a common mission: everyone celebrates his or her own faith and invites the others to share in this celebration, because faith means celebrating together".

"We are pleased to open our doors today to invite all who wish to pray and work for peace. All people, christians, muslims, who care about peace", buried pastoral minister martina braun in the catholic church of saint ottilia. Peace is important everywhere, in families, in cities and in the country, on the whole earth. "Where people walk together, reach out to each other, peace is possible, heaven and earth touch each other", remarked braun.

"Heaven and earth touch each other"

There peace had room to live in freedom, to meet each other with respect, rights were not broken, integration succeeded, insight and empathy led to relaxation. So god's kingdom can grow among us and take shape in a tangible way. "When the peace of god lives in our hearts and shapes our thoughts, we show it in the kind of love we have that does not exclude anyone, in the preservation of the rewards that make possible new beginnings, in the renunciation of hatred, violence, and the rejection of the past, in the rejection of the past, in the rejection of the past, in the rejection of the past, in the rejection of the past, in the rejection of the past, in the rejection of the past. Let us begin this peace wherever we can, so that it may radiate".

Set a sign

"Only by reaching out to each other, celebrating together, praying together, can we overcome the conflicts in the world", deacon rainer mattern (CSU), deputy district administrator, said. "I am glad that this peace walk has taken place again today, even if this year a little less people have participated in it. Nevertheless, it is important to set a sign for peace! We need it so badly in our society", neustadt's second mayor elke protzmann (CSU) said.

Hunt for ex-police officers in us raises questions

The body has not yet been identified, but it is assumed that it is the wanted 33-year-old christopher jordan dorner, it said on wednesday. The search for the suspected quadruple murderer has been suspended, sheriff john mcmahon announced in san bernardino county.

After a week-long manhunt, the former police officer dorner was caught by investigators. His hideout, a vacant mountain cabin near the town of big bear, was stormed by response teams. The building went up in flames. "We didn’t intentionally set the hat on fire," mcmahon said. The explosion was attributed to tranengas and other flammable gases. In the USA, there had been criticism of the procedure of using fire against the suspected killer. It remained unclear at first whether dorner took his own life in the hat.

U.S. Media also questioned why the fugitive was not apprehended more quickly despite a massive manhunt in the mountain region. Apparently, he had been hiding near response teams and homes for a scant week.

Dorner had been suspended from police service in 2009 following disciplinary proceedings. In a message on his facebook page, he portrayed himself as a victim of racism, among other things, and threatened more than two dozen people, including former colleagues, with violence.

In the course of his revenge campaign, dorner allegedly killed three people, including a police officer, last week. Another police officer was killed wednesday in bullet fire with thorns. The victim was buried with a rude ceremony in the presence of numerous colleagues.

In the rough assembly room of the fuchsstadt fire department, the commanders met for their working meeting under the leadership of the responsible district fire inspector (KBI) peter sell. In addition to interesting technical presentations, the long-awaited introduction of digital radio was also a topic, the trial operation of which was announced by district fire chief oliver lukashevich for the end of the first quarter of next year. "We expect the complete number of endgerates in the following year, i.E. In 2015.", said lukashevich. Until then, there would be a transition period of analog and digital radio at the fire department. "I hope that the radio holes in heiligkreuz and heckmuhle will soon be a thing of the past", according to KBM.

Exercising body and mind
During their operations, the young firefighters are sometimes physically injured and even exposed to psychological extreme stresses. "How nice it is when body and mind are prepared for the interplay of the different stresses", irma sell from hammelburger TV / DJK promoted the demand for sports training in the fire departments.
"Then the firefighters will be so fit that everything from coping with heavy outages to the widespread disease of back pain will no longer be an issue", she said. Healthy reflexes for quick reactions and physical coordination are also important. "This also increases the feeling of self-worth", irma sell emphasized.
In line with the modern times, the fire departments now also present their preserved basic training. Regarding the "truppmann I and II" training objectives the module "training and education" is the modular basis and now, as a third module, the new "supplementary module", declared KBM thomas eyrich. The latter takes into account the individual equipment of the local armed forces.

New training period
Not only the targets, but also the variable training period has been reoriented since the previous year, informed eyrich. So the growing offspring of the floriansjunger should be kept in line. What connects today's fire departments are local computers and central server facilities. Both can't do without the right software programs. The district's EDP experts harald albert and technical advisor walter wild reported on the corresponding new features of the ELDIS and MP fire computer programs.

New representatives elected
To deputies in the hammelburg service area dieter ebert (diebach) was elected as commander, heinrich starrach (machtilshausen) was elected as association chairman and klaus wuscher was elected as district fire chief (KBM). The farewell of two preserved commanders was honored with thank-you certificates. "I enjoyed doing my commanding officer duty", confirms otto winter, who led the fire department operations in volkersleier for 24 years. Erich markart was first commandant in reith for twelve years and second commandant for six years. "Professional reasons forced me to quit, and I am happy that a successor has been found for this honorary position," she said, so markart.
"I myself was the first commander here in fuchsstadt for twelve years," promised, recalled mayor peter hart (CSU). Besides the sense for the 143-year tradition of the fuschter wehr was the will to own performance, the outstanding youth work and participation of women firefighters (for 30 years) to be commended.
With the fire department in the same boat felt first police chief alfons hausmann, chief of the hammelburger inspection, when he spoke about the good cooperation. For example, during joint operations on the occasion of highway accidents. "I can't understand the arson attacks – what is going on in these people's minds??", hausmann wondered.
District fire chief (KBR) benno metz also addressed this issue. "We have to sensitize young people right from the start", metz drew the conclusion from the arson traps of hammelburg, mabbach and bad kissingen. Special thanks from the KBR went to the federal police, who regularly provide driving safety training for floriansjunger has made possible. "I will think about the alarm system", metz promised in response to inquiries from unalarmed neighboring fire departments.
