It is a nice idea, but I really doubt it would do any good. One of the biggest problems we have are with the fanatical clerics that preach hate against the west. They are the ones that brainwash the kids, and it's only a matter of time before they team up with others to do some damage. I really don't think the clerics will be swayed by this too much, and I get the feeling what it is more of a PR exercise than anything else.

One thing that might happen, is the more moderate Imans might be a proactive about the kind of meetings that happen in his mosque though hopefully. That'll help a lot, but if they can't meet at a mosque they'll just meet somewhere else.
