” “"This Charter will be an Islamic code of conduct" and "binds the Muslim community to take part in the building of a common Europe and a united society". Mario Mauro, deputy president of the EU Parliament, will give a speech today to open the ceremony in Brussels, when over 400 Muslim organisations residing in the old continent will sign the "Charter of the Muslims of Europe", an initiative of the Federation of Islamic Organisations. According to Mauro, the Charter will drive Islamic people to cooperate in the promotion of the "development of harmony and wellbeing in our societies and to play the role of citizens in full, respecting justice, equal rights and differences". The deputy president of the Assembly, who is also in charge for relations with the churches, specifies: "For the first time ever, a Charter will give the Muslims of Europe a code of conduct, which must not clash with the European legislations. This is he concludes an excellent spur to strengthen intercultural and inter-religious dialogue, not least in the light of the insistence on the Muslim’s duty to respect non-Muslims".” “
