I was going to suffocate him in the middle of the night with my pillow

To Kill Someone with a Pillow.....
This is exactly what Pastor James was going to do to Imam Ishafa late one night when the Imam was sleeping deep. But James didn't, he woke the next day and decided to look forward and accept the Muslims how they are. 4 years later is the amazing story of The Imam & The Pastor
Below is just a part of the script from the award winning film about peace and reconciliation and the importance of Peace in the 21st Century "Soldiers of Peace"

"We identified over 125 areas that when you remove the verses from the Bible and the Koran you think that this could just act as the same scripture. So that through it people can begin to understand that though they differ in their spirituality they can be one because they have one common humanity. For four months we worked with religious leaders. We have been able to bring Christian and Muslim religious leaders to sign a Peace Pact. Amazingly they all agreed."

This is a perfect example of 2 opposite sides simply sitting down and talking instead of fighting. Paster James & Imam Ishafa were trying to kill each other many years ago and almost succeeded. But now they sit down and talk. As the above mentions their religions actually have allot in common.
I think more people, especially in the Middle East should take this as an example and try to do the same. No one gets killed by talking - not that I know of anyway.

Watch the trailer of the film here "Soldiers of Peace"
