"The response was immature and certainly not indicative of being any sort of expert on Islam."

You are kidding right? You are defending someone whose first post on this thread was a picture of Bush and a Sheik with a caption about "Getting to second base", and you are slamming someone else for being "immature". I think it is pretty clear based on his first post that Sabramerican wasn't looking for intellectual discourse on Islam.

sabramerican is of the opinion that President Bush has appeased Muslims. In fact, he has done that. As did Clinton. President Bush has changed his language in recent months. Whereas I am hopeful, I don't think sabramerican shares my view. I will not speak for him. But, still, his "attack" was not a personal one.

What I don't care for is the snotty attitude that was exhibited here. There are many "experts" on the Middle East and obviously, there is much disagreement among them.
