Jim,

You state:
> Now are you sorry that you asked?

On the contrary, I appreciate your response. However I can summarize your response into the following statement: Beauty is in the eyes of the be holder!

Someone who is willing to pay $40 million for a Van Gough painting surely sees something different than I who see nothing but a bunch of trees and mountains pained. I may pay $500 for it but certainly not $40 million (and it is not the fact that I dont have $40 million, because even if I did I would still not pay for it). All because the beauty I see is interpreted differently than the next guy.

Still I can justify and express what I see, and the next guy can also justify and express that which I do not see. And If I am smart I try to understand him, and perhaps try to see what is it that I do not see! And if he is smart he also tries to see what he does not see! You see what I mean! :) <ggggg>

So, please explain what is it that you feel IGIT was so subjective about to the point that he is not willing to accept your objective (or for that matter subjective) views of Islam.

Regards,
