Look up Saint Raymond Lull and the excellent commentary on him by Samuel M. Zwemer, who declared him to be the greatest missionary to the Moslems. St. Raymond wrote over 300 works in the Arabic and Catalan language, on all sorts of subjects (philosophy, chemistry, spirituality, culture, etc,) for both Christians and Moslems. Unfortunately, the majority of these writings were all lost (as usually happens with great saints). Give this material to Moslem friends and have them see the true spirit and feelings that the Catholic Church has towards Islam, by her spokesman St. Raymond, who loved these brothers of his. If his writings could be brought back into publication, I am sure many good relationships would be established between Catholics and Moslems, and this understanding would bring them nearer together.
