"We are shocked to have received notice that a worldwide assembly of ten days including an immodest parade devoid of minimal propriety is scheduled to be held in Jerusalem this summer, which will offend the very foundations of our religious values and the character of the Holy City. Such an event would constitute a severe affront to the hearts and souls of adherents of all religions - Jews Christians and Moslems alike," a declaration signed by a dozen top religious leaders including Israel's Chief Rabbis, the Latin Patriarch, the Vatican Ambassador to the Holy Land, representatives from the Armenian and Greek Orthodox Patriarchies and three Muslim Sheiks.
"We call upon and demand... the Israeli Government and all responsible officials and Israeli police to realize the full implications of their plans and to prohibit any march of this kind, and especially in the Holy City of Jerusalem," it read.
