Actually during the crusades St. Francis of Assisi did just that, crossed enemy lines and spoke with the Muslim leader and they became close and had respect for one another.  Of course after that the pope, said no way let's kill them all and take over Egypt for financial gain.  

Moral of the story, there are good and bad on both sides.....just as there are some very bad short sighted people on these boards, while there are also  those that realize the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.    

Way to go gittinolder, ignore the sheep....if this was 1930's Germany we all have zero doubt what they would be shouting.
