These terms have multiple meanings. However, here are "normative" answers.

Religious Pluralism typically is the belief that all religions are essentially "true" or at least valid. This is in contrast with Religious Exclusivism which believes that one religion is correct and the rest are wrong/invalid, and Religious Inclusivism where more than one may be true/valid... but not necessarily all of them. John Hick is probably the best known of the Religious Pluralists.

Interfaith Dialogue has to do with intentional discussion between different faiths/religions with the purpose of great mutual understanding. This is in contrast with Interfaith Apologetics (dialogue) or Polemics (monologue), where the purpose is to convert.

It is thought by some (John Hick, for example) that one must be a religious pluralist (relativizing one's own beliefs) to be effective at interfaith dialogue. However, others, such as Martin Buber, would argue that pluralism is not a requirement... just mutual respect.

What are the dangers of interfaith dialog?

Any dangers of interfaith dialog are in the motives of the participants. The usual purpose of interfaith dialog is learning and understanding, or accomplishing a mutual goal. If some of the participants don't share these motives or have a personal agenda to accomplish from the dialog, then the purpose of the dialog can be derailed or create hostility and accomplishing a goal will be unsuccessful.AnswerGetting truth or disseminating truths is seemingly the purpose for i/f dialogue. Perhaps the purpose is just curiosity. Interfaith dialogue can easily lead gullible souls off course- especially when the false side has convincing arguments. There are thousands of religious beliefs, and nearly all of them are firmly held. If one seeks truth with all their heart, and prays/cries for it with patience, they shall find it. Truth will be revealed and it will be peaceable, gentle, and life giving (without worry). Test the spirits... is it peaceable, gentle, life giving (not taking); is it sound; does it bring a bit of inner excitement as well? Wait for it with faith and patience, and utilize inner discretion when ever you have discussions with others, and the dangers can be avoided. If while discussing you sense darkness, and a knot in your stomach, pull out!
