From the statement:

The Hebrew Bible states, and the New Testament affirms, "Depart from evil and do good.  Seek peace and pursue it." (Psalm 34:15; I Peter 3:11)

The Quran teaches, "Act justly for that is what piety demands." (49:9)

The Sikh tradition teaches that all of humanity is one family...

Pope Francis has said, "War is madness" and warns that perhaps WWIII has already begun,"one fought piecemeal, with crimes, massacres and destruction."
