As U.S. voters head to the polls tomorrow, another set of partisans will be gathering, hopefully for something rhetorically less than a debate. At long last and two years after Pope Benedict XVI drew a negative response from many in the Muslim world after his Regensburg speech, a group of 24 Muslim scholars will meet 24 Roman Catholic counterparts for a three-day summit.
