Moderate Moslems: Dialogue and Pathology

No sooner do I finish a post on Soccer Dad about a Moslem attempt at accepting the Pope's invitation to dialogue--and along comes Mere Rhetoric and casts doubt on the entire enterprise.

I agree that the Pope's attempt at dialogue is unlikely to go anywhere, since the whole idea of dialogue--give and take--seems foreign to Moslems who are unlikely to give up a point.

I don't know what else we can do, but Mere Rhetoric has some thoughts.
The question is whether the West has the confidence and security of their values to do it--it hasn't so far.
