To Nancy & Norris:

I have been watching your posts -- very interesting and informative. It's great that you both attempt to be fair and use logic and facts without screaming and name-calling.

One thing I notice: both of you are careful to point out what's so great about your argument and what's so wrong with the other's. For instance, the selected quotes from the Qu'ran and Bible were chosen to make one look loving and benign and the other look vindictive and malevolent. Truly, "good" and "bad" could have been reversed just by chosing different selections from each text.

Here's a challenge to each of you: For one day, look for what is beautiful in the religion of the other and report that, and only that, to us: no excuses, no ifs, ands, or buts. And nothing about your own religion. Do you dare?

Raymond (from Nancy),
The links I posted determine persecution as murder, preventing freedom to worship God as they choose, preventing earning a living, etc...
This is not my conclusion but that of many in the US Senate and other foriegn governments. I don't think you read my post very carefully for in the sentence you copied I mentioned the horrible murder of Muslims by Christians in Bosnia. That is the problem many claim to love God and others and they actually hate people and therefore hate God.
IMO only by praying and speaking against this hate within our groups can we overcome with Gods love.
Nancy

Raynond;

Im sorry but you seem to have a problem;

My wife stated the following;

Personally I pray that the persecution of CHristians stops and the persecution of Muslims by Christians in Bosnia stops.

You stated the following;

Of course you couldn't believe there was persecution of Muslims by Christians, could you??

Sorry Raymond but you seem to be one sided and have misquoted and twisted what my wife said. Is this a CLINTON or what......................
