[It notes that Christmas came just after the Muslim haj pilgrimage to Mecca and the Feast of Sacrifice (Eid al Adha) recalling how the Prophet Abraham almost sacrificed his son.]
"Al-Salaamu Aleikum, Peace be upon you, Pax Vobiscum
God's refusal to let Abraham sacrifice his son ... is to this day a divine warrant and a most powerful social lesson for all followers of the Abrahamic faiths, to ever do their utmost to save, uphold and treasure every human life and especially the lives of every single child.
May the coming year be one in which the sanctity and dignity of human life is upheld by all... May it be a year of humble repentance before God and mutual forgiveness within and between communities."
