How, pray tell, can there be an 'alliance of civilizations' if one of the so-called 'civilizations' is trying to wipe the other off the face of the earth?
An initiative this world desperately needs to succeed - well done Desmond Tutu.
Fredistar:
I agree with you. It won't succeed because they are not addressing the real issue, and that's the problem with the aggressive nature and ambitions of Islam to dominate and take over the world.
They continue to whitewash Islam, and in doing so will only make matters worse. Far worse, too!
USIP:
The fact of the matter is that there cannot be an "alliance of civilizations". Islam is a competing civilization in every respect to our own. Added to this, Islam is a very aggressive religion, and Muslims have every intention of dominating, and taking over, the world. This initiative is left-wing garbage!
They have about as much chance of succeeding with this initiative as the world had of appeasing the Nazis. And we all know where the appeasement of Nazism ended!
Yzerfontein:
A warm welcome to this forum!
I am afraid I have to disagree with your assessment of this initiative. It will never work. The intentions are good, and I wish it could work. The reality of the situation is that it cannot, however. The road to hell, as they say, is paved with good intentions!
