On the main question of is compromise possible, I think ultimately no, but that doesn't mean that we have to have open hostility towards one another.
There is a story from the Civil War about enemy soldiers trading tobacco for coffee one night before the battle, and maybe that could be contrasted with the Japanese in WWII or the Taliban in this war. I guess apart from the battle itself, the interchange ends up depending on the character of the individuals involved and the real world practical out-workings of their belief system.

Hitler was one shitty atheist.
