我在一次穆斯林社区会议上遇到了塔里克，在他发表了关于他参与犹太-穆斯林对话倡议的演讲后。这次会议是由一个总部设在英国的穆斯林文化协会组织的，聚集了一系列演讲者，讨论英国穆斯林感兴趣的问题。虽然后者是主要的目标受众，但会议对所有人开放，并进行了公开广告。我在那里几乎是偶然的。我当时正在探索英国犹太人和穆斯林合作的不同例子，一位研究同一主题的同事慷慨地向我提出了这次会议的注意，并建议将就该项目进行我会感兴趣的演讲。Tarik当然是其中之一。演讲结束后，我走近Tarik，做了自我介绍，并问他是否有空在未来某个时候进行更长时间的交谈。我很快了解到，塔里克不仅是这次会议的演讲者，也是会议的组织者之一。他后来告诉我，多年来，他参与了许多犹太-穆斯林对话的倡议。塔里克认为，犹太人和穆斯林代表着彼此非常接近的宗教和文化传统。他还认为，与犹太社区和组织接触可以为他的宗教同僚提供丰富的学习机会。他说，我曾被邀请在一个由犹太社区组织和为犹太社区组织的会议上谈论我的工作，我觉得这正是英国穆斯林所需要的。我们也是少数群体，那次活动是一个很好的例子，说明了一个人可以做些什么来支持自己的社区。
I met Tarik at a Muslim community conference after he made a presentation about his involvement in an initiative in Jewish-Muslim dialogue. The conference was organized by a UK-based Muslim cultural association and brought together a range of speakers addressing issues of interest to British Muslims. While the latter were the primary intended audience, the conference was open to everyone and was publicly advertised. I was there almost by chance. I was exploring different examples of Jewish-Muslim collaboration in the UK, and the conference was generously brought to my attention by a colleague who was working on the same topic and suggested that there were going to be talks on the programme that I would find interesting. Tarik’s was certainly one of them.After the presentation I approached Tarik, introduced myself and asked if he would be free for a longer conversation at some point in the future. I soon learnt that Tarik was not just a presenter at the conference, but also one of its organisers. He later shared with me that he had been involved in a number of initiatives in Jewish-Muslim dialogue for many years. Tarik believed that Jews and Muslims represented religious and cultural traditions that were very close to each other. He also felt that engaging with Jewish communities and organisations could provide his co-religionists with fruitful possibilities for learning.‘I was once invited to talk about my work at a conference organized by and for Jewish communities, and felt that this was exactly what British Muslims needed,’he said.‘We are a minority group too, and that event was a good example of what one can do to support one’s community.’
