I thought that the intent of that post was comic relief. One of the "happy conversion" stories on that site was about Sabbatai Zvi. I read his story in several books over the years. This famous 17th century false messiah eventually broke the hearts of his followers when, after being arrested and threatened to be beheaded by the Sultan, he merely (albeit not merrily) converted to Islam. ...The posting of that site was irrelevant to the discussion, and was simply an example of rapid-fire "linksmanship" getting out of hand.
