That I bother to state this may be an embarrassing confession of my own detachment from this particular evil, if not my ignorance of the fact.
I was struck by these statistics reported in ChristianityToday's January 2008 issue (their source was the FBI):
Number of Anti-Jewish hate crimes reported in the U.S. in 2006: 967
Number of Anti-Islamic hate crimes reported: 156
Combined number of Anti-Protestant (59) and Anti-Catholic (76) hate crimes:
135
Happy New Year.

Depressing, isn't it?
Out of all the interfaith dialogues, I would be most reticent to work in the Jewish-Christian one. I think that all I could contribute would be, "mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa."
