1. progress and I

believe most Jews feel that this is a great idea. There is nothing in Judaism that preaches hatred toward other religions. Radical Islam has hijacked the religion and turned it into a hatred fest. They not only hate the Jews and Christians but blow each other and themselves up on a daily basis. How could this cult become so strong?
2. Perhaps it's because I live in London

I am sure these formal dialogue situations are very laudable, but in a big multi-cultural city like London it's almost impossible to lock yourself away from daily interaction with people of another faith (or for that matter opinions different from your own). It's all made very easy that legally we are all citizens of the same country with equality before the law and sanctions against those who don't follow the rules. Sure, there are people with extremist views around in Londonistan but they aren't likely to show up at such meetings.
3. #2. To a large extent thats true

And there is so much progress quietly being made in social interaction between Muslim and Jewish Communities in the UK Ive been to Muslim Weddings and have been to a number of Jewish Weddings with Muslim Guests - Hijab and all where even five years ago it would have been seen as impossible. In one we were personally greeted and welcomed by the Imam...What a sign of the times! Whats more my neighbour is Muslim and our families have been good friends for years Where however I HAVE experienced shockingly abusive racist and antagonistic rejection is from PSC Activists in the UK wether in Academia, Unions..who will reject out of hand ANY and EVERY attempt to create dialogue and understanding. And remember MOST OF THESE ACTIVISTS is White Middle Class Non Muslim who ARROGANTLY thinks that Muslims cannot articulate for themselves and that THEY are the true voice of Palestinian Hopes and Self Determination It seems they are simply taking ownership of the Palestinian Cause to further their own agendas To many Muslims too..the PSC is an ACUTE EMBARASSMENT! Out of date, out of touch, out of credibility and out of time

hi, At Israel itself ther are many Jew-Arab mixed cities, like Haifa and Jaffa and Acre, we go to the same Universities, markes and work, we live together too. They are citisens just like us (abut million and a helf). The Arab population at the west bank and Gaza are not Israeli civilians, they want and need their own country, but their leaders prosper at thr current situation and won't change it.
