Judeo-Moslem Committee to hold first meeting on April 5-6 in Marrakech
Regional-Morocco, Religion, 4/5/2005

The Judeo-Moslem Permanent Committee is to hold its first meeting on April 5-6 in the Moroccan town of Marrakech (Central South), the Swiss "Hommes de Paroles" Foundations said in a communique released in the Belgian capital city.

The committee was created at the first World Congress of Imams and Rabbis for Peace held last January in Brussels, under the aegis of Morocco's King Mohammed VI and King Albert II of the Belgians, by the Swiss foundation. It was created to empower the Judeo-Moslem dialog so that it reflect and act to find a way out to the problems involving Islam and Judaism.

The committee's 2005 agenda slates the working out of programs that combine debates and on the terrain actions.

This body set up last February The International Inter-religious Monitoring Center (IIMC), which is tasked to denounce, respond to racist, anti-Semite, defamation acts and wrong interpretation of texts, religions and their teachings.
