"But we need to hear that there is truly some cooperation between Muslims and Christians in Europe to promote all over the world those human values that seem fundamental to us". In his speech, card. Ricard outlined other spheres of cooperation between Christians and Muslims. Of these, he highlighted the fight against social exclusion, speaking of the situation in which an increasing number of immigrants are living in the European cities: "ghetto cities or neighbourhoods, school dropouts, unemployment, the feeling to have no place or future in society, resentment and violence against a society that does not look so fair after all". "There is said the archbishop a whole lot of work to be done to prevent violence breaking out in such situations and to take these people out of social exclusion". An action said the archbishop that can also be carried out locally by way of a "work of social peacemaking" which the Christian and Muslim communities can do together in the so-called "difficult" neighbourhoods".
