Wouldn't it be great if we all got on with all our neighbours ; holding hands and dancing in fields of daises .
Unfortunately , we dont live in an Utopian world , and the above is never going to happen .
History is littered with one society or another ; imposing or trying to impose their culture and values , on another ; with disasterous and bloody consequences .
So no , the two groups are not going to reconcile their differences .
However we shouldn't just sit back and watch mankind slide down the road to armageddon
We must at least attempt to come to some kind of truce .
America , wrongly in my view , is perceived to be some sort of Satan , by some, in the muslim world .
Personally I consider some of the beliefs of some muslims to be abhorent although i would concede that
western countries have not been saints , throughout history .
I applaud the Obama administration , in being big enough to hold out the olive branch .
Afterall , we owe it to future generations - dont we ?
