It was very thoughtful of you and the people you interviewed to break down some barriers. Sometimes I have gotten myself caught up in the fear of what is going on in the Middle East that I forget about alll Americas including Muslim Americans. They are nice people you met, who want to live in paece in our free society. I hope the Muslims in your communtiy as well as the rest of the U.S speal out about what is right and wrong about their faith, just as American Catholics may have been critical of the Pope on handlng certain issues. We have only ourselves to police. Dru baby! It was very thoughtful of you and the people you interviewed to break down some barriers.

I don’t recall seeing many of these types of reports from inside the Dome on Sept 11th. What struck me is the diverse group of nations gathered. Moroccan. Sudan, India. Somali, Pakistan and just too many to name. The outrage over the Popes comments should be the start of the dialogue. "Spreading the faith through violence is something unreasonable", and whoever would lead someone to faith needs the ability to speak well and to reason properly, without violence and threats" Below is what was said: Feel free to comment Ac "Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached."He then explained the emperor's argument that "spreading the faith through violence is something unreasonable", that "violence is incompatible with the nature of God", and that "whoever would lead someone to faith needs the ability to speak well and to reason properly, without violence and threats". Tim,

The outrage over the Popes comments should be the start of the dialogue. “Spreading the faith through violence is something unreasonable”, and whoever would lead someone to faith needs the ability to speak well and to reason properly, without violence and threats”

“Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached.”He then explained the emperor’s argument that “spreading the faith through violence is something unreasonable”, that “violence is incompatible with the nature of God”, and that “whoever would lead someone to faith needs the ability to speak well and to reason properly, without violence and threats”.
