Adam Center

The Adam Center for Peace and Dialogue was established as a Mosaica project operating from Kfar Qassem in conjunction with Mosaica. At its initial stage, the Adam Center serves as the arm of Mosaica in the Muslim world, promoting inter-religious dialogue within the Muslim world. At its next stage, the Adam Center project will operate as an independent non-profit organization to continue promoting inter-religious dialogue among Muslims, Jews and Christians in the Middle East.

The Adam Center is  headed by Sheikh Abdallah Nimr Darwish, whose personal history  exemplifies the positive change beginning to occur in the Middle East, illustrating the hope for the possibility for inter-religious dialogue.

As the founding leader of the Islamic Movement, and its spiritual leader, Sheikh Nimr Darwish often preaches at mosques, and calls on the Arab world to compromise with the State of Israel and come to terms with its existence as a legitimate Jewish and Zionist entity.

The Adam Center for Peace and Dialogue organizes educational programs and seminars, on issues such as the study and interpretation of the Koran, targeting Muslim religious leaders, academicians, students, school pupils, and on-the-ground activists.

The aim of the study and interpretation of Islamic sources is the development of insights on current events, and acquaintance with Islam's stand on various topics (for example: Islam and the Other; Hudna in Islam ─  differentiating between a political Hudna and a religious Hudna; Lands of Palestine ─ the relation of Koran and Islamic Law to the issue of land ownership), according to the line of religious interpretation set by Sheikh Abdallah Nimr Darwish.

The Adam Center for Peace and Dialogue, as a bridge between the Mosaica Center and the Jewish world on the one side, and the Muslim world, on the other, can serve as the operating arm of Mosaica, with the following aims:

  1. To widen the inter-religious coalition of religious leaders in the region and the circles of  inter-religious diplomacy established at the Alexandria Summit, amongst others, by creating a cadre of religious leaders who will serve as prominent agents for dialogue and change between and within the different religious communities.

  2. To deepen the inter-religious dialogue between Jews and Muslims in the Middle East through educational programs and dialogue sessions, and by training facilitators to implement such programs.

  3. To establish a cadre of learned religious leaders who would disseminate moderate interpretations of religious sources used by extremist factors. This would provide legitimacy and religious validity to the recognition of the Jewish people and the State of Israel instead of standing in the way of dialogue. These leaders would take vigorous steps, among widespread populations, to publicize their interpretations in the written and electronic media, in academic publications, mosque sermons, educational institutions, community centers and elsewhere.
  4. To produce and disseminate comprehensive and reliable knowledge to the general public, academicians, educators and policy makers.
