Wzajemne zrozumienie religijne i tolerancja: panaceum na przezwyciężenie współczesnych kryzysów religijnych w Nigerii Artykuł podejmuje problematykę celu religii jako zaprojektowanej dla człowieka przez Boga i analizuje relacje między jednostkami i grupami społecznymi. Autor omawia niektóre kryzysy religijne mające miejsce w kraju, w którym doprowadzono do bezmyślnego niszczenia życia i własności. Bada przyczyny owych kryzysów religijnych, jak również nieporozumień między przedstawicielami różnych wyznań, które stanowią wyzwanie dla bezpieczeństwa kraju. Autor zauważa, że lekkomyślne i barbarzyńskie zabójstwa niewinnych ludzi (muzułmanów i niemuzułmanów) mogą zostać powstrzymane poprzez podjęcie wysiłku porozumienia i pokojowego współistnienia. Zaleca model Proroka Mahometa, ukazujący tolerancję i pokojowe współistnienie jako wyjście z owych kryzysów i sposób na zaprowadzenie pokoju w społeczeństwie, gwarantującego zrównoważony rozwój.
