I wanted to bump this thread and add a link to an opinion piece (lol, originally typoed it as peace, which is funny/ironic) from the Huff Post. Normally I avoid posting links from them because the comments get so nasty so quick. But the piece is pretty rational and make some good points. I like how he touches on a lot of the reasons that moderate, rational Muslims have given up on dialogues about their faith.

I don't think I've seen any of his movies, but I used to read his blog when he was updating it regularly and I've read the novel they talk about. He's usually sane about religion.
