Those are very wise words that I wish more people would realize. What we have to accept is that no matter what happens there are always going to be people out there that don't believe in what we believe in. And I don't mean we should only look at what we have in common, we should acknowledge the differences we have and that we're going to disagree on a lot of things. I am saying we should learn to live together despite those disagreements. So I agree with you 100% there, well said.
There's a famous saying of Muhammad, peace be upon him, that he said upon entering Al Madinah, he said:
“O’ people, spread peace among yourselves, feed the poor, keep the kinship ties, and pray at night while people are sleeping, so that you may enter paradise serenely.”
Notice how 3/4 of that message deals with relations between human beings.

there's a certain irony here .... a devout agnostic discussing with a reasonable Muslim, the centre pin of Christianity ....Jesus

Hehe
That's true.
Don't forget though, that from our point of view Jesus had the same religion as Moses and all the other prophets of God, peace be upon all of them.
I guess what this thread needs is a Christian so that they can share with us their point of view. The discussion would get much more interesting.
Not that it's not interesting right now!
