Philippines Solidarity Iftars Unite Muslims and Catholics, Foster Peace After Tragedy
- Solidarity iftars in the Philippines bring together Muslims and Catholics during Ramadan to foster understanding.
- The tradition started in Mindanao in the 1970s when churches sponsored iftars for Muslim communities.
- The events allow Muslims to share their challenges with Christians who can help advocate.
- This year they take on deeper meaning after the Marawi bombing at a Catholic Mass.
- Interfaith groups hope embodying the spirit of Ramadan will promote love and peace.
