Cultural alliance anyone?

Is there hope in iniciatives such as this?
When Spain's prime minister, Zapatero, called for this cultural alliance, two years ago,
he was labelled all sort of things. Pacifist doesn't seem to be a nice word. He was nicknamed "Bambi" by his detractors. The idea behind this is that our enemy is not Islam, it's unresolved conflicts and western endless intervention in the Middle East.
Do you think it's naive?

There is a lot of truth in that article. I do believe there will always be some conflict that is religion driven. I also believe that people, as a whole and world wide, have become hyper-sensitive. It is almost as though they are looking for a reason to take offence at some real or imagined slight. I know that is certainly true of many of the groups we have within the USA - and I'm not speaking solely of religious groups.
