I was shocked when I heard that MPAC condemns a Muslim Shaykh with a big following and a leading magazine.

Why did they not try to sit on a table and discuss these matters before going public and dividing the Muslim Community.

On their website at http://www.mpac.org/

They have no problem putting a headline that says

Muslims and Jews Sign Code of Ethical Dialogue in Los Angeles

30 Nov 1998 - David Lehrer, left, regional director of the Anti-Defamation League in Los Angeles, Dr. Maher Hathout, center, spokesman for the Islamic Center of Southern California and Rabbi Alfred Wolf share a laugh during a news conference Monday, Nov. 30, 1998, in Los Angeles. The meeting was called to announce a code of ethics in Jewish-Muslin dialogue

My concern is if they are able to sit with the Jews to sign a code of ethics, why not sit with other Muslim leaders and initiate a dialog to stop calling each other Kafir and Mushrik, etc…
