>"I don't underestimate Muslim's ability to reason. I worked with plenty of them and they're aren't the thoughtless wild fanatics that some (non-Muslim and Muslims) make them out to be."<

"Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities...but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world." -Sir Winston Churchill

In other words- those Muslims you and Churchill reference have the ability to reason: *in spite of* being muslim, not *because of*...

I have a great Hope for the Human Heart. The touch of God has our souls yearning for Him constantly. A little taste of Grace, and the human heart wants more. To hear His voice a little, and an open heart yearns to listen and follow.

People need safety and opportunity to know Christ. That's why Jesus gives us "Purgatory". It's because an ALL Just God would never condemn a soul that has been oppressed and forced to resist Jesus' Love. "Purgatory" must be a spiritual safe haven of sorts for such people who've been stunted spiritually.
