That makes sense on the surface, but actually war can be an odd tool for bringing mankind together. I live in a Navy town where many have spent their duty stations with the Asian countries, thus many of the marriages are mixed. You would have hard time around here finding someone prejudice against an Asian woman or mixed kids because it's common place.
If we can achieve that in the mid east....it would be the miracle of love. And I do believe it can be done.
My Dad married my mom in Germany after the war. Her family beat her and hated him. But love prevailed. End result is that they raised kids with an understanding of both the Christian and Jewish faith. It's the way to go.
We don't have to give up what we believe in order to accept those who believe differently. And in many cases....we have converts....such as my mom who has proven to be a stronger Christian than my dad. It's all good. We've just got to stand back and let God do His thing.
