Saudi King Calls for Religous Dialogue

June 5th, 2008 by Adam

The Daily Star reports on the call by King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia for dialogue between Islam and other faiths at a conference for Muslim scholars. The King’s call seems to be a means to confront growing extremism in the Muslim world. The monarch stated, “The challenges facing the [Muslim] nation are difficult at this time, as its enemies - including those extremists among its own people - have joined forces in a flagrant aggressiveness to distort the … righteousness and tolerance of Islam.”
