Moslems have their work cut out for them. You need to educate the world on Islam's view on the use of murder to solve theological disputes. Does Islam sanction jihad as seen through the eyes of terrorists? Does Islam sanction punishment by death for anyone who converts to Christianity? These issues need to be addressed in an open forum.

The current view of non-Moslems is that Moslems are quick to kill anyone who utters anything that can even be remotely considered an affront to Islam or prophet Mohammed. How can there be open discourse and elightenment when one party is armed and ready to chop your head off if you offend him?

I took a diversity class in college and they brought in some Moslem leader to create more awareness about Islam and dispel any misconceptions. It was a total disaster because everyone was scared to ask the questions they really needed the answers to because Moslems are notoriously touchy when it comes to religious issues. It was so uncomfortable, with everyone just waiting for the dude to get done and leave!
