AnswerThat is being shown to be nearly impossible.

How do you talk to a group of people who tell you that you are to live the way THEY demand, otherwise they'll kill you. That is the mandate of radical Islam.

How do you talk to a group who tells you that they want to control the world and that they'll kill you if you don't surrender to them? That was the mandate of the NAZI's and Imperial Japan during WW2.

Often you may THINK that you're getting through to that type of person, but all they're doing is waiting for YOU to show a weakness. Such was the lesson that we SHOULD have learned from Japan when they were giving us assurances that they had no intention of further aggression in the Pacific. Those assurances were give right up to the minute that they bombed Pearl Harbor.

At least radical Islam doesn't bother to tell you that they'll negotiate. They tell us right up front that they will kill us all... and they're doing their best to follow through.

Despite the pessimistic viewpoint expressed above, which argues on the basis of stereotypes, there are people who work to promote genuine dialogue. One example is an international movement called Nonviolent Communication (NVC). Another example is the concept of dialogue introduced by the philosopher J. Krishnamurti, whose principles are practiced in small groups and retreats; also, a number of Krishnamurti's public dialogues have been published or filmed, including one with the physicist David Bohm. Krishnamurti said: "If you assert and I assert, if you stick to your opinion, to your dogma, to your knowledge, and I stick to mine, then there can be no real discussion, because neither of us is free to inquire. To discuss is not to share our experiences with each other. There is no sharing at all: there is only the beauty of truth, which neither you nor I can possess. It is simply there."
