Were you under the impression that 9/11 was carried about by American citizens?

"Can a devout Muslim be an American patriot and a loyal citizen? Is Muslim American really an oxymoron? "

"Yet, the post had laid out some facts that are born out of experience; you may not agree with them and I respect that. though i can hardly find that possible in light of 911, unprovoked and deathly."

I wonder what experience you mean...

Not sure what that has to do with 9/11, since no American Muslims were involved. And while you say this " fundamentalist, anti-west, out for blood brand of Islam" your post is much much more generically anti- Muslim- as well as being just plain prejudiced and ignorant. I have no idea what there is to debate in something so ignorant- perhaps the extent of the ignorance shown?

The facts I saw in the post were mostly wrong- or applicable to many faiths. Why don't you tell me what facts you found so eye opening. The thing about Mecca was just wrong. As was the biblical nature of the constitution.

That is not the line of the Episcopalian Church. They take religion seriously, not literally. After all, the New Testament was written in letters to men 100 years after Jesus died. I find most of the religious criticism in the Bible directed at the Orthodox Jews for their senseless piety. Beware the leaven of the Philistines, and please don't ever speak for me as a Christian.
