 Mirror Monk Jihad - مرآة الراهب جهاد

Bernardo Borgeson / Sweden, Syria

synopsis
There are two jihads: The minor one is to go to the war and fight, the major jihad is the spiritual one, to live for God. For Josef Jihad, Christian Maronite monk in Mar Musa, "jihad" means to love Christ, seeing in a mirror, recognizing in Islam the same God of his Christian faith. Filmed in the monastery Mar Musa, founded in the 6th century in the Syrian desert, a living testimony of Christian love for Islam through dialog and collaboration with Muslims.
