The slogan coexist includes:
Muslim crescent symbol representing the "C;" the Jewish Star of David, the "X;" and the Christian cross, the "T." ...reminds Christians, Jews and Muslims that we all have a shared heritage, we are all distant cousins – family as well as neighbours. Neighbours who have a lot in common to talk about. Jews and Arabs [who are mostly Muslims] can trace their ancestry back to Abraham and Christians through faith are recognised as his “spiritual” sons.
