It's not exactly an "embrace".......

They're not embracing.
They're fighting over whose God is more powerful (righteous) than the other.....and we all have a ringside seat.
As a doctor friend of mine recently quipped "It's a clash between civilizations".
Your guess is as good as mine as to who will win this "war". We can annihilate large portions of "them", but they will keep killing small portions of "us". And, as another friend of mine pointed out, there are "muslims than christians"..........
