The spiritual leader of Shia Ismaili Muslims Prince Shah Karim Al Hussaini Aga Khan called for greater cultural understanding between the Muslim World and the West, rejecting the notion of a fundamental ‘clash of civilizations’.
In his speech at Harvard University, Prince Aga Khan once again insisted on pluralism and said the society must strive to be more ‘pluralist’ and ‘cosmopolitan’.
His remarks were apparently aimed at searching for the difference and diversity by the people who should learn it.
Addressing a packed audience at Memorial Church, Prince Aga Khan said globalization should not mean the creation of a single, homogenized society where all differences are erased, rather it means people should seek out diversity and learn from it.
Ismailimail 
There is no clash of civilisation; It is more about frustration where people see their lives destroyed by the interests of geopolitical players who should be ashamed of seeing what is taking place, be it the sensless suicide attack in Paris, Kenya, Lebanon, Syria or wherever else.
There seems to be a real crisis in the definition of what is essentially “democracy”; The only simple, clear and precise indication was expressed by His Highness The Agakhan;
He indicated true democracy is when the “individual citizen” evaluates the improvement in his or her life irrespective of where they come from, what religon they practice or their cultural background.
This can only be achieved when those who control the geopolitics begin to understand we have to be more pluralist if we want to have a chance of living without fear, hate, bigotry and a society which converts itself into a canabile species without any moral principles, genorosity and profound spirituality.
