Fear, stereotypes, ignorance and hunger have this in common: They seldom survive sharing a meal, honest conversation, a desire to learn and making eye contact with the stranger across the table. On the evening of June 4, two Salt Lake City Mormon congregations — the Yale Ward, 1431 E. Gilmer, and the Gregson Ward, 3151 S. 900 East — will do just that, hosting iftar dinners for Muslim neighbors during Ramadan, which begins Friday evening.

There are plenty of parallels between the false prophethood careers of Mohammed and Joseph Smith so a sort of kinship between their followers shouldn’t be entirely surprising.

Interesting to have people serve you while you celebrate their murder 8n your national holiday about your victory over them in the end of days. Do you smile and smirk while eating, or just contemplate how their head will link on that platter?
