Blair Mulls Islam Conference

British Prime Minister Tony Blair has announced that he is considering calling an international conference on Islamic extremism, news sources say.

The Prime Minister apparently desires to address the issue so that groundwork can be laid for international cooperation aimed at preventing acts such as the July 7, 2005 bombings in London.

His desire to resolve matters peacefully is to be commended, but one wonders if talk is sufficient. If an international conference is the only measure resulting from his obvious desire to eliminate terrorism, then it will be of dubious value.

From knowledge and understanding must arise action that will yield concrete effects toward the interests and objectives of the entire world.
