Five American religious organizations invited
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to a dinner to break the
Ramadan fast during his upcoming visit to the United States. The
event, which will take place on September 25 on the sidelines of
the opening of the United Nations General Assembly, will be
sponsored by the Mennonite Central Committee, the Quakers, the
World Council of Churches, Religions for Peace, and the American
Friends Service Committee. It is being called "an international
dialogue between religious leaders and political figures" and it
will discuss "the role of religions in tackling global challenges
and building peaceful societies."

Don't the Quakers understand that each religion's goal (Christianity and Islam) is to convert the world...??? What's the point...

DrMarty, I like this story. It's good stuff.

Perhaps both enjoy playing charades, and nothing political will be discussed.

I heard the US didn't give Ahmadinejad a visa:


Despite the existence of a US-UN agreement according to which American immigration is obliged to issue visas to allow foreign leaders to speak before the world body, Iran claims President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was not given entry leave to address the General Assembly on September 23.
