Summary/Abstract: territory - and thus also in the area of Slovakia and the Czech Republic. In the Czech Republic the Muslim religious community was recognized in 2004. In Slovakia it has not happened yet. The Koran orders Muslims to follow everything what is given in it and not to change it for anything else in the world, but simultaneously with this orders them to respect Christians, Jewish and other religions in the world. Especially the Christians have to follow the demand to spread Christ and the Gospel everywhere they are, also to numerous groups of immigrants from Muslim countries. The world actually stays before big challenges how to develop constructive ecumenical dialogue with Islam. Muslims and Christians, inspired by common values, are called to work together in the interest of justice, peace and respect of dignity and rights of every man.
