Interfaith Conference Fails after Argument between Muslims and Jews

MACAU NEWS: An interfaith conference which has been held in Madrid during the week has ended on a bad note with Muslims and Jews involved in a political argument.



Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah had gathered followers of the world's major faiths for the Madrid conference to seek religious reconciliation. 



It has been reported that exchanges between Muslim participants and Jewish Rabbis turned to a discussion on Zionism and became overheated, almost leading to blows.



It was the first time Saudi Arabia had invited Jews to such a meeting and the aim was to avoid hot issues like the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. [Source: Macau News] | July 18, 2008
