Although very largely misunderstood, the works-based and inherently mysterious demonstration of Jesus Christ's divinity upon His death on the cross, commonly shared by Christians (Matt. 27: 45-55; John 19: 30-42) and Muslims (Surah IV, 157-159), is the greatest possible ground for conciliation worth exploring together prayerfully for sustainable peace! May God help us.

I firmly believe Scriptural prophesies make this seemingly logical attempt at peacemaking dialogimpossible. If we had tried the same attempt with Hitler at or before He began his campaign toconquor the world, Would it have nipped in the bud the second World War? Hardly. Hitler was only one wheras whole generations of Muslims have been steeped in "Kill all who believe other religeons."Lets face it dialog with them is impossible. But the Bible predicts that Israel will not be conquored bythem. As for the Palistineans no mention of a country for them is ever mentioned in the Bible. Thefinal eastern border for Israel will be the Euphrates River. (Gen. 15:18, Deut. 11:24, Josh.1:4)

I am glad that someone looked into the context of the Koran verses chosen. I have to say that in all my studies and contacts with Muslims, they have been very "sly"--to speak cautiously. Having read the book by John Mead "The last World War", he makes it very clear that the Muslim world has a plan since 1982 to take over the world by "any means possible"==war, killing, or peaceful efforts or just growing families in a country to finally become the largest group. To even get men in the political stream of a country, and eventually take over--ie France.AND IN OUR OWN GOVERNMENT > cHRISTIANS BEWARE.
