[Pan_Yans Wife]

The only way Islam will change is from within.

By sticking your fingers in your ears and saying, "LALALALALA! I can't HEAR you!" you will never come to a point where dialogue can exist. Without dialogue, why would Islam want to listen to your concerns?

By all means, remain prepared against violence, foreign and domestic. But, at the same time, don't increase the mistrust between both sides. How do you ever expect things to change, if you don't attempt to talk and listen? It seems to me that we are all stuck on this planet for the duration of time. And that we must figure out a way to co-exist.
