Peace is possible, if today s adversaries were to imagine themselves becoming friends or at least civil to each other, and begin acting in ways that would promote tolerance with honest dialogue to bring peace in the region. A readiness to make concession is a sign of strength, not weakness. And it can be worthwhile sometimes to lose a battle in order to win the war. We pray and beseech God that both India and Pakistan would come with the APHC leaders to a negotiating table of dialogue for peace, rather than flex their muscles with arsenals of bullets and atomic weapons of destruction. Hatred and revenge are like an acid that will destroy and leave you empty.
Violence begets violence.
We urge Indian government not to waste anymore time but come to the table for honest dialogue. Deep in our hearts, we believe the struggle for freedom will break the shackles of forced occupation. There will be free Kashmir. We thus plead that you send forth to the world a message as moving as the mighty waters of righteousness and justice for an immediate end to warfare, genocide, war crimes, and gruesome human rights violations, whether in Kashmir, East Timor, Ireland, Myanmar, Palestine, Sudan, Chechnya, or elsewhere. May we dedicate our lives to work in strife-torn communities, building bridges between alienated and traumatized people, being extraordinary agents of peace and reconciliation.
