BRIEF: New Muslim-Jewish group to meet

Salam-Shalom is a women's group that is "dedicated to lessening the tensions between Muslims and Jews," according to organizer Reshma Memon. "We're not talking about politics, we're talking about religion." The group will meet tonight in the Ben Franklin Room of Housten Hall at 8 p.m. The focus of the meeting will be to discuss the Jewish and Muslim concepts of war. "We will discuss when [war] is allowed and when it is not and how it is to be conducted," Memon said. -- Stephen Glass
