IT WAS a good weekend to reflect on why monotheists quarrel, despite (or more likely, because of) having lots of common reference points. As so many inter-faith meetings optimistically recall, there is a huge overlap between the people, places and stories revered by Christians, Jews and Muslims. Not just Abrahim/Ibrahim, but Noah/Nuh, Moses/Moshe/Musa, and so on. But commonality doesn't always make for friendship; in fact it can give people something to argue over.
