I'm proud of our military dealing with moslems according to the dictates of their profession. I'm equally proud of Christian holy men dealing with moslems according to the terms of their profession as well.

Well, St. Francis having a dialogue with the Sultan is not the same as if a Pope had gone to the Sultan's mosque to pray to God. Of course, as the link you provided notes, "St. Francis of Assisi’s initial goal was to convert the sultan to Christianity or to become a martyr while trying."That's a mission I can support as well.
