Teaching tolerance in Turkey

Interesting that there is a Muslim organization that gives free vacations to Turkey just so people can learn about the people and Islam:

"Norman Police Chief Phil Cotten has a new appreciation for the quest for peace, after 10 days of total immersion in Turkey's rich history and traditions.

Cotten was one of several Oklahomans invited on a special sojourn to Turkey in early June, courtesy of the Institute of Interfaith Dialog."

"In my opinion, the goal was for us to come back with a very deep appreciation for Turkey and Turkish people and the real true Islam beliefs," Cotten said. "They are very loving and caring people."
