"Interfaith action" (?)

Jonathan Freedland, Guardian, Heard the one about a rabbi, an imam and a priest, who walk into a bank?, 22 Jul 09 "Even before they've started, there's something to applaud here. It's refreshing for Jews and Muslims, in particular, to be working together – "exciting", says Dr Muhammad Abdul Bari of the Muslim Council of Britain – and for these communities to be engaged in interfaith action rather than another round of earnest tea-sipping in the name of "dialogue"."
