The widening chasm between the Muslims and Non-Muslims is a serious concern for civil society. If same things are said by both sides in their defence or to make a point it will give the same results. On the part of Muslims it is time for soul searching and find reasons why uniformly all over the world , there is lot of violence by their coreligionists. On the part of non-Muslims it is imperative not to go for a verbal attack but try to understand the reasons for that kind of thinking, which has brought the world to this state of insecurity. What was said perhaps thousands of years by Islam or Hinduism needs reinterpretations. After all we no longer live in arid deserts wielding swords to defend or offend anyone. It is the modern age when the benefits of modern science and technology needs to be shared and enjoyed. So just keep away those weapons and warped thinking by all people and start a new page. Be civil to each other and polite and certainly violence results in counter-violence and acrimony. Not a wise idea !!Let some sense come to the people who have strong opinions on this issue.

Good thoughts but pointless!!
Since the people in power in Muslim societies have never once in history followed the advice that you give above :-). Islam has always been used as a political tool since it is very potent that way.
