Thank you. That was a fair and reasoned proposition. One that I would have been pleased to forward myself.

I recognize the threat from radical extremism as well as anyone. I've been personally effected by it and have no hesitation in labeling Radical Islam an enemy.

Having said that I would ask you to do what many people do when trying to honestly examine the presuppositions of another view point. That is consider things in reverse. If a person made all kinds of proclamations about the Christian Community in America based on the data they collected about America having higher statistics than almost any country in the world for rapes, assaults, murder, robbery, sexual perversion ... if they further supplied anecdotes describing horrific circumstances in America, and if English was their first language but they didn't spell Biebbol or Gaud correctly would you hold them up as a valid spokes person for Christian Culture. Maybe you would want to hear their perspective but would you want their critique to be validated.

The terms Korianic (Quranic) and Alah (Allah) jumped from a post of yours intended to inform me about Islam... Well lets be honest it was attacking me using your knowledge of Islam as justification. In the reverse case ... on an anti-Christian thread would you consider that a good start.

Well by gones should do that ... be gone. It looks like we have a fresh start. As I have said, I am not a Spokesperson but I can certainly engage in a reasoned discussion that seeks understanding as a goal, and would be happy to do so.
