Basic Tenets Emphasized At Parliament Roundtable By Gretchen Grondahl Assertion of justice and brother hood as basic tenets common to the faiths of Islam and Judaism emerged in a Parliament of World Religion round table on "The Eth ical Teachings of Judaism and Is lam" at 10 a m. Wednesday. Rabbi Julius Nodel, Portland Jewish leader, and Bashir Ahmad Minto, president of the American Moslem society, outlined their re ligious principles and answered questions of an overflow audience in the Dads' lounge. Connecting j doors between the lounge and the , ballroom had to be opened to ac commodate the crowd. Rabbi Nodel explained that all j (he ethical teaching of Judaism j sterns from the one dogma of the faith: "Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One.” Since God is the father of all men, all men are brothers in the teaching of the Jews, he explained. Judaism emphasizes the pursuit of justice, because if there is no justice there is r.o peace and no love, he asserted. “Thus the Jews have always been able to be good citizens be 4, cause their teachings are to abide the law.” This World Important "Judaism is a very this-worldly religion," Kahbi Nodel stated. "To us, this world is not a useless ves tibule for the world to come, be cause that makes life purposeless." The object is to live the best life possible to make the world better for all. The best way to sum up the ethical teachings of Judaism. Rab bi Nodel concluded, is to quote this Scriptural passage: "What doth I lie Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?" (Mi dah VI, 8.) Minto, speaking on the ethical teachings of Islam, explained that the ethics of his faith lie in the word “Islam," which means "com plete surrender to God." “Your morals should be God's morals," Minto asserted. If this is the case, what are God’s attri butes? The speaker dwelt, on two: justice, emphasized by Moses, and humility, emphasized by the teach ings of Jesus. Follow Justice, Humility "Both of these attributes have to be followed," Minto stated. He illustrated his point by saying that if vve are kept in slavery by tyrants, we must fight for justice and our rights, or the tyrants will be able to do as they wish. But if God gives us power, we must not misuse it. "If you find a man in the dust, pick him up; but if a man throws you down, revolt." Midway in the program Rabbi Node) and Minto engaged in a dis cussion designed to clarify each other's points. Rabbi Nodel, commenting on Minto's characterization of Juda ism as a religion of law, pointed out that Judaism also teaches mercy. "The ancient Jewish law of 'an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth’ was actually created as a restraint for more cruel practices," Rabbi Nodel explained, stating that in ancient times it was com mon to cut off an arm for the theft of a piece of bread. Not Spread by Sword Minto, explaining that he had not meant to give the impression that Moses did not value mercy, made an attack on the common saying that Islam is spread by the sword. "This concept is historically wrong,” Minto charged. "The Mos lems are the only people who nevoi exterminated any people simply (Please turn to faye seven) Fate of Judaism, Mohammedanisnk Discussed by Parliament Speakers i Dangers Noted By Rabbi Nodel By Kitty Fraser "The fate of Judaism in the mid twentieth century will be the same as the fate for all other religions,” stated Rabbi Julius Josef Nodel in his talk on Judaism in Wednes day night's session of the Parlia ment of World Religions. Destroying forces which attack Judaism will attack all other reli gions, Nodel said, and the task of all religions for peace is to see that “in the name of the living God, no basic human right is violated." Pointing out that there 19 no "best" religion, he said, "What our religion does for us, other religions do for you." Emphasizing the common as pects of the world's religions, he spoke of the "universal religious hunger" of man and said it was! Fforovsky Delayed The Very Rev.

"The walls of the buildings di vide, but this spiritual hunger unites us,” he stated. Nodel then posed the question that if the world religions arc so much the same, why could there | not be a universal religion, one re | ligion for all ? In answering, he said first he be j lieved in “universal religion, but not uniform religion.” His reasons why there could be no uniform re ligion for the world were first that elimination religious differences to create harmony would be admit ting defeat. The real trouble is that humans transform these dif ferences into antagonism, said the rabbi, and ill will among people would only find expression in some other hatred. Secondly, Nodel pointed out that a uniform religion would be "mor ally bad" and "practically impos sible.” Citing instances where jroups have tried to found relig ions that they hoped would be uni form, he related that those who fried to find a universal religion ended by founding a new religion. ' If a single religion was estab lished on the ruins of all the old faiths, people would still r.ot be satisfied, Noclel inferred, because there is no religious formula that cap satisfy all men due to their psychological differences. Speaking for the Jew, Nodel said he believes his religion to fce the best, but he has no desire to rob others of theirs. The conflicts between religions are not with the philosophies, he commented, but with the failure of followers to live their lives according to their i Please turn to t'asc ci<jht) M\n\o Explains Moslem Picture By Sue Lkhfy Modems will stand- on their feefc and fight for themselves in the fu ture as they are doing today. Bashir Ahmad Mintc, preside®! of the Moslem Society of the U.S.A. Inc., said that as he dis cussed "Islam in the Mid i’Cltlb Century.'’ "It is right for them to strug gle," he said. "Mo'^ems say a riaai Is ignorant if he closes his eyes , ears to the bad things going on irw the world. He is to live :n tbiew world, and he has tc take part ir*r the struggle of it.” Ke told of the persecution the followers of Islam suffered under a "foreign yoke” lor hundreds of years. The Westerners depnve«fc«» them of their land and made them poverty stricken, ha said. Now they are realizing a unity to th.ow off that yoke. "God has no chosen people ” he said. "God does not love anybody, but he loves justice and honesty. He will reward you according to your work.” Minto told how the Moslems "forgot th? word of Gotf and suf fered for it. In the iTth century they gave up struggling. Then the foteigners came in to the Islamic world. "The whole Islamic world was divided and tom into pieces ” he said. "The Moslems realize thi» was due to their own misdoings.” Now the unity is growing strong er in the Islam world, Minto -aid: Today Pakistan has come into ex istence and the people of Iran are fighting for their rights.
