Speeches

P.Z. Ismail: The Root of Peace Is the Family

Sunday, October 19, 2008
Written by: Tan Sri Datin Paduka Zaleha Ismail, Chair, Chairman, National Population and Family Development Board, Malaysia
When the Global Peace Festival was supported by eight ministries of the government and other agencies, it opened the eyes of many people. I feel that with the support of the government we can accomplish a lot in what we do next. We had 2,500 young people coming for community service at one time, and they are asking, what next? Where are we going to have our next project? When will it be? This means that we have created interest in peace-building in many levels of society.

M. Mahathir: We Must Make a New Start

Sunday, October 19, 2008
Written by: Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohammad, Prime Minister, Malaysia, 1981-2003

We know that the world is divided into people of different faiths, but basically the faith of all these religions is the same. Religions preach and promote peace and brotherhood. There is no religion which says that you should go forth and kill those who are not of your own faith. I’ve studied the Qur’an and I couldn’t find any verse which directs Muslims to kill non-Muslims. In fact, we are told to live at peace with peoples of other religions. Surah Al-Kahfirul refers to the different religions professed by different people, and says that you have to accept them—"to them their religion, to you your religion." It doesn’t say “to them their religion, and therefore you should fight them.”

B. Bhaneja: Proposal for a Canadian Department of Peace

Saturday, October 04, 2008
Written by: Dr. Bill Bhaneja, Co-Chair, Canadian Department of Peace Initiative

In the early part of the twenty-first century, the peoples of the world are experiencing an intolerable level of insecurity and violence on the parts of states and non-state actors. At the same time, there has been a re-energizing of the peace movement and citizen initiatives in seeking innovative, nonviolent and enduring resolution of conflict through peacebuilding activities of many kinds. One of those initiatives is a growing international movement for the creation of departments of peace in all nations. Canada, as a middle power with a long history of peacekeeping and negotiated outcomes to conflict, stands in a unique position to become the first country to proclaim a Department and Minister of Peace.

A. Curling: Giving Substance to the Words of Peace

Thursday, October 02, 2008
Written by: Dr. Alvin Curling, Former Speaker, Ontario Legislature, Canada

For over 2,000 years this plea has been on the books and has been issued millions of times from pulpits the world over to many millions of faithful parishioners, many of whom have become the perpetrators of war, the starters of war, the losers of war, and — dare I say it — the winners of wars for there are those who profess that in war there are no winners.
