We christians have the ignorant skin heads and KKK to get rid of, and the muslims have all those "kill all infidels and jews" idiots to get rid of, but then, yeah, it could happen. True christians, not the ignorant hatemongers, get along fine with the Jews, and I've heard of some muslims who get along fine with Jews and christians alike. The problem is the hatemonger faction of all the groups, which unfortunately, I don't see going away any time soon.

What is society? A group of human beings linked together by certain common systems, traditions, conventions and laws and leading a collective life, forms a society. A collective life does not mean that a group of men should necessarily be living side by side in a particular region and should be utilizing the same climate and consuming the same kind of foodstuffs. The trees of a garden live side by side, utilize the same climate and consume the same type of nourishment. Similarly the herd of deer graze together and move together. But neither the deer of one herd nor the trees lead a collective life nor do they, form a society. Human life is social in the sense that it has a 'social nature'. Human needs, achievements, enjoyments and activities all have a social nature, for they all are closely linked with certain customs, usages and systems of division of work, division of gains and division of the fulfilment of needs. There are certain dominating thoughts, ideas and habits which keep a particular group of people united. In other words a society is a collection of people who are compelled by certain pressing needs and influenced by certain beliefs, ideas and ambitions, to be amalgamated together and lead a common life. Common social needs and the special relations of human life so unite people that they become like passengers travelling together in one automobile, in one aeroplane or aboard one boat heading towards a particular destination where either they all reach or none of them reaches. On their way if they face any danger they face it together and have a common destiny. The Holy Prophet while describing the philosophy behind exhortation to what is good and restraining from what is evil, has used a beautiful similitude. He has said: "A group of people embarked a boat which sailed and cleaved the bosom of the sea. Every passenger was sitting in his own place. One of the passengers on the plea that the place where he was sitting exclusively belonged to him, began to make a hole at his place. If other passengers immediately caught hold of his hand and restrained him from making a hole, they would not only save themselves but would save him also".

Yes. Especially Jew. There are plenty of non-practising Jews as it is not just a reference to a religion but a nationality. There are lots of people who claim to be a non-practising ______. Although I hear this phrase most often with catholicism. Then you have the people who merely go through the motions. They do go to the temple or church and yet it is clear that they do not follow their religions beliefs. There are also those who cannot go to a service but are devout in their practices. It all comes down to what lies in the heart. For what lies in the heart is evidence by the way a person acts. i know I kinda circled the question a bit but I think I answered it as well.

Peace among people is the result of reason, not faith. Faith is faith. It doesn't matter if we were all Muslims or Christians or Jews. Without reason we'll fight each other.
How many wars have occurred between Christians and Christians, Muslims and Muslims? We fight because we as children we were not educated to value neither reason nor logic, from which our morality should come. Instead, we were given faith, i.e. the belief that a super-consciousness should guide us to live peacefully with some holy books. I call that a divine failure!
Faith is just one of many sentiments for which we are prepared to fight each other. Faith is not different from other emotions like jealousy, envy, greed, desire to control, desire to be accepted, desire to be right, to be recognized, to be honored, to be respected, to be powerful, never mind if we deserve honor, respect, love, etc. All these are the reasons we fight, both at the individual level and at the tribal or national level.

Of course! We don't have to all agree with each other, but we should respect other people's beliefs. Not just Christians, Muslims, and Jews, but all religions. Well, minus the ones that hurt people, those shouldn't exist at all.
I'm Christian, and I would absolutely hate it if someone tried to convert me. It's the same thing with everyone else.

Yes it is possible, just like it is possible for Shia and Sunni Muslims to live in peace, or Catholics and Protestants to live in peace.

As a Christian, my God is Jesus Christ. I do not worship or believe Allah to be anything but dead.
In saying this, I can live in peace & harmony with any who respect others choices and realize that there is no right religion, only people who think they are in the right religion. Peace :-)

Whoever does not come to this point will not be in heaven. Jesus said "Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God." Matt. 5:9

The best chance for all beings to live together in peace, despite the simaliarities and differences in their beliefs, is for them to let go of the fear that they have that causes them to cling to "right and wrong" notions of how the journey should be taken. It is only without fear, that we can go on together, to the one source.
