I'm very sorry that happened to you; of course, I was completely unaware of it.
The only thing I can figure is that since you commented shortly after 9-11, maybe folks were still dealing with the shock, and wanted to extend the "benefit of the doubt," or just hope like hell such a declaration wasn't really true.
But since that time, the murderous minions of Mohammed have scarcely passed up any opportunity to show their true, disgusting colors, so it may very well be that whether they wanted to believe it or not, previously skeptical folks have eventually come to the same realization.
Of course, that's just my opinion, and you know what they say about those...
But if it should turn out that I get the boot, too, then at least it will have been for one of the best possible causes, I believe. Islam itself is strewn with the seeds of anarchy, mayhem, and evil. Just because the devotees aren't burning and killing at any given time or place doesn't mean that they can't or won't do so someday.
Somebody recently put it so very well; I wish I could remember who it was who said, "Osama Bin Laden didn't hijack the Koran - he simply started taking it seriously."
“Osama Bin Laden didn’t hijack the Koran - he simply started taking it seriously.”
for real.
