Center For Strategic & International Studies - CSIS Watch . The religious animosity between Muslim-ruled Pakistan and Hindu-majority India could make conflict escalation more likely. Doug Johnston, CSIS Executive Vice President and editor of Religion: The Missing Dimension of Statecraft, called religion a "mobilizing" vehicle that can be quickly co-opted by nationalistic forces and contribute to greater instability even if it is not the cause of conflict itself.
Beliefnet; The source for Spirituality, Religion and Morality - Bush's Religion Policy Must Confront U.S. Political Divide As the U.S. expands its dealings with other nations over concerns about religious freedom, it is important to be "as balanced in our judgments as we can," offered Doug Johnston, president and founder of the International Center for Religion and Diplomacy in Washington, D.C., even as practices that demand criticism or condemnation present themselves. An incoming administration, he said, should strive to recognize any positive steps countries may be taking. "Other countries don't like being beaten over the head, but it becomes far more palatable if we also recognize any good things they may be doing."
New Covenant Worship Center - Pastor's Trip to Sudan We went to Sudan to participate in a dialog among Sudanese and International leaders. Sudan has been embroiled in civil war for 17 years. Rebels in the South are contending for a secular Sudan. The government claims that there is already religious freedom in Sudan. About 5 members of our group spoke to the church, including Doug Johnston, president of the International Center for Religion and Diplomacy, a couple of government officials, an Orthodox Church leader, and myself.
