Rift over war tears Muslims, Jews apart

Ahmed Ezzeddine, Wayne State University business professor, commented about the boycotting of "Building Bridges" by religious leaders. The new half-hour interfaith talk show is being carried nationally by the Muslim-owned cable channel Bridges TV and co-produced by a New York Jewish organization. Ahmed said the divisions between the religions is frustrating. "The war this summer between Lebanon and Israel made our whole situation so tense that people are saying that they just can't work together anymore. There's so much emotion right now that people have forgotten that there are many issues that we could keep working on together."
