Dalai Lama arrives at US anti-terror summit

[CarlW]

"The Dalai Lama has arrived in San Francisco to join Muslim leaders from around the world in an unprecedented summit on quelling violent religious extremism.

Tibet's spiritual leader came in response to a prominent California Imam's invitation to help form a "United Nations of Religion" devoted to countering extremist violence........


Uniting the Dalai Lama together with Muslim clerics will demonstrate that Islam is not at odds with peace, Yusuf said.


"Buddhism probably has the best press, because it is associated with non-violence, and Islam has the worst press because it is associated with violence," Yusuf said."

I wonder if this will really help change the public perception of Muslims.

Buddhist's believe you begin life after you die as an Animal right? Muslims believe you have 20 virgins.

No wonder Muslims are blowing themselves up, i'd rather have 20 virgins then be a chicken or something.

Seriously... What does this Yusuf expect? Good press from suicide bombers??
