the islamic believers who we see everyday on the news protestring this or that arent going to be swayed. if its not this pastor threatening to burn the koran (which is justified to be angry about but its a bit funny and hypocritical for them to react with violence and threats of violence and burning the american flag to achieve their "quest" for peace), there will just be some other thing that they are mad about.

I understand what you are saying OTM, and I don't mean to suggest we would sway the radical element, rather we should live up to our own ideals and in doing so, set a tone of mending fences rather then stoking fires
