What is your opinion on the call for dialogue with the West by Islamic thinkers and well-known scholars?

Question:
Recently, multiple calls for dialogue with the West have emerged from Islamic thinkers and well-known scholars, on the grounds that the Qur'an dialogued with the polytheists, and likewise the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) dialogued with the polytheists and sent messengers to them to dialogue with them. What is the truth? May Allah bless you.

Answer:
Dialogue is necessary for the purpose of clarifying the truth and refuting falsehood. Allah the Exalted said: Therefore, if the intention behind the dialogue is to manifest the truth and refute falsehood, this is what the Qur'an brought and what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did. However, if the intention behind the dialogue is to confirm the polytheists in what they are upon, to confirm the disbelievers, Jews, and Christians in what they are upon, and to say, "We and you are equal; you are upon a religion and we are upon religions, or you are upon religions and we are upon a religion," and that we must draw close to one another, then this is false. This means confirming disbelief and making it equal to Islam, and that all religions are equal. This is not permissible.
