I saw this article over the weekend…it’s sounds really promising. Open dialogue beteeen religious leaders would be more productive than the UN (IMHO).

Could you imagine a speech like this at the UN with a Islamic leaders nodding…?
The speeches at this conference rather than using polite, diplomatic language have at times been brutally direct. When the Rabbi Metzger harangued mainstream Muslims for not standing up to Osama bin Laden, Islamic leaders nodded in agreement.

Both Muslim and Jewish leaders have shown a preparedness to take criticism. There have also been strong expressions of opposition to any killing in the name of religion.
