Oh no, K-51, I beg our pardon, I didn't mean that at all. I am not saying that Muslims are no better or worse than Protestants, or that they have any equivalence on a moral or spiritual level.

I just meant that Muslims are not susceptible to "Reformation" because they are already devoted to "sola korana." There's no "reforming" people who insist that they're already reformed" -- that every possible question has already been settled by a text. And their barbaric text is unfortunately buttressed by the even worse hadith, plus 1400 years of koranic jurisprudence all tending toward the same end: terror and oppression.

They follow Mohammad. We (Protestants and Catholics) follow Jesus. Jesus is as opposite to Muhammad as it is possible to be. Therefore, a really zealous person who follows Jesus' example gets better and better, whereas a really zealous Muslim who follows Muhammad's example gets worse and worse.

I think we'd be in substantial agreement on that.

Please forgive me for not expressing that clearly to begin with.

Mrs. Don-o

Thank you for clarifying. And I agree with what you are saying about the moslems.

As you know, there have been a verbal sparring between the Catholics and Protestants. And there has been a lot of cheap shots coming from both sides. Your comment looked a lot like some of those cheap shots, but I was hoping that you were not joining in. I’m glad you are not.

Grace and Peace,
K51
