You have certainly demonstrated that you are totally unqualified to comment on the protracted conflict with world Islam

This is about where I point out that not only have I lived most of my life in various locations of the Middle East, but am fluent in several of the region's languages.

My understanding of Islam, its values, traditions, culture, and fanatics is hence far superior to yours. I understand that this will be difficult for you to accept. I am sorry for the emotional blow this will be for you, having to accept that there is no way your comments on the Middle East, Muslims, or the religion Islam will have a relevance anywhere near those of someone who has lived there, speaking the languages, immersed in their way of life and culture.

Is that clear? Or are you going to insist that a North American couch potato getting his "info" from Fox TV and CNN is more "qualified to comment on the protracted conflict with the world [of] Islam"?
