BBC: It was an appropriate venue: an Ottoman Palace on one bank of the Bosphorus, with a view on to a vast bridge linking East and West.
"If we are to build bridges between civilisations, what better place to begin!" UN Secretary General Kofi Annan remarked in his opening address.
He was speaking to a group of 20 prominent world figures meeting in Istanbul to present him with the findings of more than a year of work.
The high-level group includes Anglican Archbishop Desmond Tutu and the former Iranian President Mohammad Khatami. Myth and reality feed West-Muslim gulf

From the article:
"This report is important because it debunks certain myths about an increasing polarisation between the West and Islam," explained Ali Alatas, former foreign minister of Indonesia and one of the authors of the 40-page Alliance of Civilisations report.
There are tensions, there are even hostilities but they are not caused by religion, by culture or by civilisations
"One of our major conclusions is that the divide is not religious or cultural but political."
Is there no end to fatal stupidity?
I fear so, Beakerkin. But I also fear he doesn't know it! :-)
Indeed, Always! One would expect stupidity among such people to be finite. It turns out to be infinite!
Of the two, which one wears the largest fryingpan sized shoes?
Temple, you've lost me again. Too cryptic for me to understand, I'm afraid. Duh!
