The following quote is from the "Rock Edicts" of the Buddhist Emperor 
Asoka. I would suggest it as a motto for this news group.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
One should not honour only one's own religion and condemn the religions 
of others, but one should honour others' religions for this or that 
reason. So doing, one helps one's own religion to grow and renders 
service to the religions of others too. In acting otherwise one digs 
the grave of one's own religion and also does harm to other religions. 
Whosoever honours his own religion and condemns other religions, does so 
indeed through devotion to his own religion, thinking "I will glorify my 
own religion". But on the contrary, in so doing he injures his own 
religion more gravely. So concord is good: Let all listen, and be 
willing to listen to the doctrines professed by others.
