I didn't know the meaning of the word!, but looked it up:
Reconciliation or fusion of differing systems of belief, as in philosophy or religion, especially when success is partial or the result is heterogeneous.

I'm NOT advocating a fusing of the two faiths -- to form some kind of Manichaenism. Rather, I am saying that in the belief of good fighting evil and tolerance, the two faiths are compatible -- the followers of the two faiths CAN live with each other on the same planet -- maybe not necessarily in the same country.

This is in complete opposition toIslam which seeks to invade and conquer and convert.

That is not saying much. I could, and am quite sure the same holds for you, live quite comfortably next door to a Hindu, Buddhist, Shintoist, Jew, Protestant, Confucian, Taoist, Atheist, Agnostic, and even a Liberal Amchurch freak (if I had to). But satanists or wiccans would give me pause, and a Muslim would have me on high guard until I found another neighborhood.

There is only one "religion" on earth at this time that seeks to convert or kill every human being on earth, Mohammedism. This Zoro worship is a silly thing to bring up in this day and age, especially when it is accompanied by the claim that it is the source of every good belief, and that Christianity and Judaism are just cheap copy-jobs. I know that's not exactly what you were saying, but you have already accepted part of that slippery slope. It is so easy to make bold revisionist claims for an obscure and all-but-extinct religion.
