 Comparative Discussion by HWPL led breaking down the interreligious barrier."


Sabir Islamic Imam (NI)
HWPL participated in the three-year the Scriptures Comparative Discussion of Chicago Branch.



"Dialogue and debate have achieved PEACE, and I testify of sincerity."

As increasing interest in Heavenly World Peace Liberation (HWPL, representative Man-hee, Lee) has  in the wake of the COVID-19 incident, figures who participated in the activities of branches of HWPL are taking the lead in promoting the sincerity of the HWPL peace activities.Sabir, who works as an Islamic Imam in Chicago, reported the sincerity of HWPL peace activities through an e-mail interview by the Chunji Ilbo on the 6th.

Sabir Imam, who has been participating in the HWPL Chicago branch's Scriptures Comparative Discussion for more than three years, defined"Man-hee Lee's vision is to compare the scriptures of the religious community and find a 'path to world peace'.

This remark from the current Islamic Imam is contradict to Seoul's recent cancellation of corporate approval, saying that “HWPL was acting for the purpose of “missionary work” unlike the purpose of establishment (World Peace).


Sabir Imam stressed, "I witnessed the collapse of barriers (between religions) in the process of understanding God's will through dialogue and peaceful discussions, so I testified to the sincerity of this approach."
"For more than 3 years, I participated in the Scripture Comparative Discussion run by the HWPL Religious Union Office," he said. "We have watched and studied how HWPL operators help participants and lead discussions so that they can realize the meaning of the scripture and become one."

Sabir Imam said, "Obviously, these discussions helped us see the integrity of the community of faith in a wide range," and added, "This (religious dialogue and the Scripture comparative debate) gave me a sense of the future in which we all live together peacefully."
He stressed, therefore, Lee's 'vision of peace' through dialogue must be continued through regional efforts and application of the principles of freedom, justice and equality for all.
