Thank you. : ) I would have missed this one.

It's nice to see this coming from a Muslim. I only wish more of the moderate ones would speak out as he has.

You know... Between you & me ; ) I've known a few who were generally good people. Tho, when it came to certain issues, I could never relate to their "logic" about justice... and I had a hard time believing that they truly bought into even the watered-down version of Islam they followed.

I look at them as sort of like unitarian or other really liberal Christians, or Jews... only a weak reflection of the creed. What's different is that the liberal Christians & Jews don't hesitate to speak out against fundamental Christianity, while I see very little of that from their Muslim counterparts.

I honestly think many are just afraid to. Or maybe (cynical mode), they are more sympathetic to the extremists, and are just waiting til they have critical mass before they admit it.

I'm thinking about the ones who got the Muslim Call to Prayer in that Michigan town... Judging by that. the Islamic religion truly does conflict with the American way. Not that Christians don't make the same mistake... While I'd rather see Judeo-Christian ideas supported by gov't, like prayer in school, etc, I fear it'll bite us in the butt when we have to give equal treatment to *all* religions.
