Do you see any substantive difference between a good Muslim, good Christian, good Jew... good Buddist - or good atheist?

I tend to see human beings as having a spiritual nature to begin with, and would view this as the primary fact.

We certainly need more people like you building bridges from every faith perspective, and I applaud your efforts. I was struck as a divinity school student, way back in 82, by the horribly distorted image of Islam that the US public was receiving due to its presentation by the media only in connection with terrorism.

It would be like discussing Christianity only in the context of abortion clinic shootings. Thanks for your good work.
