it really sounded decent, and hopeful, until this:

"They also discussed the role religion plays in terrorism. Professor Judea: "Religion does play a role. The perpetrators that commit those crimes constantly speak in the name of Islam."

of course..."they" have to see the role "their" religion plays, but the biblical message of special, racial supremacy of one people doesn't need any contemplation in the role it plays ? maybe i missed that part(?) of the article, but this part was very depressing...

sounds like this dialog will change nothing but the relationships among the individuals who directly take part in the dialog, and many of them are probably "good" muslims already...
