RIYADH, Saudi Arabia - Islam must do away with the dangers of extremism and present the religion's positive message, Saudi King Abdullah said Wednesday as he opened a conference of Muslim figures aimed at launching a dialogue with Christians and Jews.
The three-day gathering in the holy city of Mecca seeks a unified Muslim voice ahead of the interfaith dialogue. In particular, Saudi Arabia hopes to promote reconciliation between Shiite and Sunni Muslims.
So it's not just isolated little voices nowadays. Powerful leaders are taking up this message...a positive sign? Of course in the case of Saudi Arabia I would prefer to see the country stop sponsoring terrorist groups more than hear speaches that aren't backed up by action.
