"But if those who build it, want it to further the cause of peace and reconciliation, what then?"

What if they don't? If they give in? What precedent will it set?

If Moslems are to avoid being driven out of every community that feels enfranchised by this dispute, then they must not budge.

Encouraging and affirming ignorance and xenophobia will not lead to peace and reconciliation, but will lead to more self assured lynch mobs.

Peace and reconciliation happen when mutual tolerance and maybe respect are practised.

An interesting point in the Olbermann video I posted above concerns the fact that Moslems in America are at more risk of violence from non-Moslems than Non-Moslems are from Moslems.
