Pointing to the misunderstandings among followers of different divine religions, Kharrazi called for dialogue to resolve such misunderstandings.
He warned of an anti-fundamentalist attitude emerging in the US characterized by increasing threats and confrontations of Muslims, and said President Khatami's initiative of "dialogue among civilizations" would be the effective means to overcome the attitude and to establish peace and friendship among peoples of various faiths and convictions.
The representatives of various divine faiths also spoke of the need for dialogue among religions to confront common threats as well as the need for cooperation and a common approach to meet the challenge posed by negative attitudes.
