Below is an article from the Pew Forum comparing Muslims to other faith groups with a specific focus on Evangelicals:

Please check out Rev. Gray's article with Dr. Eboo Patel, Rev. Paul Raushenbush, and Rabbi Sid Schwarz for the Washingtonpost.com earlier this year, highlighting the benefits of creating an Congressional Interfaith Caucus. www.newamerica.net/publications/articles/2007/congress_needs_an_interfaith_caucus_4812

I think this is especially relevant in light of the sixth anniversary of 9/11.
We can best honor those who lost their lives that day by creating
innovative and effective means of coming together. An interfaith caucus
would be a right step in that direction so that as Americans we can forge
a bond that can sustain us through tragedy and triumph.
