Abstract

In this joint article, we shall deal with Jerusalem and its three historic faces of ‘homo Muslimus’ (i.e. Judaistic,
Christian and Islamic traditions as three religious faces of Abraham at the sample of both his biological and
religious family tree traced back to Adam) have been recorded in ‘Jerusalem’ City as to peaceful co-existence.
Our inquiry stand points will be based on the philosophico-sociological ground as well as the history of Divine
religions. Jerusalem is one of the oldest habitats of Adam’s children. The members of Adamhood had been
mentally and spiritually evolved by divine intervention from the state of homo sapiens to the state of, what we
call, homo skeptikus so as to be a good and a model homo Muslimus on the earth in the very long journey of
divine evolution. Thus one of the largest groups of homo Muslimus and civilizations historically known as
members of Abrahamic religions and their followers have been living together in Jerusalem city as a nucleus
sample. All homo skeptikus reason porters have been divinely formatted by God in their very nature as people of
peace and co-existence to talk and act during their stay on the earth. However both historical records of homo
skeptikus reason porter in general and of homo Muslimus in particular led us to think that having and practising
culture of peace and coexistence was/is not easy on the earth. As a world famous old city, such historical case
have been happened and observed at the sample of social, religious and cultural habitat of Jerusalem. Therefore
today we desperately need ‘peace’ and ‘coexistence’ all over the world as well as Jerusalem City for the wellness
and welfare of humanity at global and even at universal levels. However, the question is to be answered: How is
it so? 

In this context in the realization process of the joint paper our aim will be to draw participants’ attention to two
main historic points of homo sapiens and thus discuss the outcome. These are: i) histories of homo Muslimus
and Jerusalem as a city of various cultures; and ii) the historic relation between three faces of ‘homo Muslimus’
and ‘Jerusalem’ as to (regional and global) ‘peace’ and ‘coexistence’.
