The Relationship Between Religion & Politics 2 of the Suriname people. And, in this working together, we have had several projects already. But now we want to enter also into dialogue, into sharing our views, our religions with one another. Therefore, we plan also to make use of the help of guest speakers. And so, you are the first guest speaker in the context of this programme of interreligious dialogue between the religions here in Suriname. We thank you for your preparedness to come and share your views with us. And the topic for this evening is ‘The Shariah’ or ‘The Relation between Religion and Politics in Islam’. And that’s against the background of the cooperation of various religions in one country. And second item on the agenda is, the Ahmadiyya question. The deeper background of the persecution of the Ahmadiyya Muslims. Once again we thank you for your coming here, and we hope that this evening will be for you, and for us all, a pleasant dia- logue, a brotherly experience and also a fruitful experience for the benefit of a better relation between the various religions here in Suriname and in the world. May I invite you now to address our community?
