One of the big things that stopped the Troubles was the realisation that just because each side had a different religion didn't make them that different to each other - people started going to joint masses, and having cross-religious marriages, something which would have led to effective exile in the past. Once you humanise the other side, it's a lot harder to justify any action against them. Similarly, we know little enough about muslims (in general), and I doubt they know that much more about us. So if each side realises that the other isn't actually that different when it comes down to it, it might help bring those pacifist representatives to the table.
Funny that you mention this last tid bit. I saw a little sketch on The Daily Show where they were talking about how some Muslims were coming into churches to worship together and vice versa. Some Christians were going to Mosques.
Here is an example of the two groups praying together.

Tuna, I won't debate what you've just posted because I was only joking about that article in the first place.
I wouldn't know if there was any truth to the rhetoric in there no more than you do.
Guess my sarcasm detector was a little off-base last night
