The website for WCBS-TV in New York has a great story today. ImamShamsi Ali and Rabbi Marc Schneier came together at the 96th Street Mosque to denounce terrorism.
Imam Shamsi Ali of the Islamic Cultural Center of New York stated, "These intended evils must be condemned, and I'm here to condemn it."
Rabbi Marc Schneier of the Foundation For Ethnic Understanding stated, "Any attack on a Jewish religious institution is an attack on any and every religious institution."
The above picture is of the two men embracing during a press conference at the Mosque in New York City on Thursday.
I have no idea how representative this story is, but it is encouraging to see these two men who I believe are sincere take a step toward peace between two groups who do not usually interact well.
