Secular Messianism

in the following, we are going to read an interview with H.E. Archbishop Cyril Salim Bustros, Archbishop of Beirut & Byblos about commonalities between religions. The questioned asked were more than what included here; We selected some questions related to Islam which were asked and mentioned them in this article. To explaine the topic of our interview, knowing the meaning of Messianism seems necessary. Messianism is the belief in the advent of a messiah who acts as the savior or liberator of a group of people. Religions with a messiah concept include Zoroastrianism (Saoshyant), Judaism (the Mashiach), Buddhism (Maitreya), Hinduism (Kalki), Taoism (Li Hong), and Bábism (He whom God shall make manifest).
