I am totally repulsed. I have never posted here before but this has set me off like nothing else. As far as I'm concerned, the "Brother" in "Brotherhood" should be removed and replaced with a certain six letter word beginning with the sixth letter of the alphabet. Unless this stuff dramatically changes soon, I see no hope for the U.S. apart from, gulp, civil war. God help us - we're seeing the country destroyed from within.
And a blessed Resurrection Sunday to you as well.

I stand corrected as I noted in my other post, Chris. I don't see how Islam can change for the better, though I originally gave that guy a "nice try". He was in my Stop the ACLU database so I though he was legit, despite my conviction that Islam is what it is. Maybe he was an infiltrator. Who knows?

Also, I stand corrected on that website (Reform Islam). The Front Page Mag article is convincing. Thanks, Chris, for the heads up. Wish we could straighten out the FBI and others who believe that Islam is a peaceful religion

I agree with both of you, Chris & Gary. While I do still stand by my belief that the guy who runs the Reform Islam site is gutsy, in no way do I accept that Islam can be reformed. All Muslims are either hypocrites (because they don't believe the whole Koran) or terrorist (because they do). So in the end, the guy who runs that site will likely never see a change in Islam. It's been that way for 1300 years for a reason.

I kinda did that, Gary (however, not on those specific religions), but once the pressure cooker began closing in on this guy, he "disappeared". And yeah, I am familiar with Reform Islam - the guy who runs it was a supporter of mine when I ran stoptheaclu.org. Gutsy individual.
I recently had an online debate with a professor of religion from a college in Chicago's northern suburbs. The debate stemmed from an article in a local paper back in December. I looked up the e-mail address at the school's website and proceeded to dialog for a few weeks. I asked him how he could teach that, as the interview with the reporter went, that all religions have their extreme elements and that jehad does not mean what we know it means - that it means a struggle in his view. But typical of the left, he used the Crusades as an instance of Christians murdering others at will. However, when asked to cite something much more recent from adherents of the Judeo-Christian faith and not to use the rare cases of Christians shooting abortionists, he didn't respond. I also sent him examples from DanielPipes.com how jehad was quoted by Muslims of old as meaning holy war and not struggle. That was the last I heard of Professor Ron Miller.
Thanks for the tip, Gary. I use Firefox but what do I do to get Ad block?

I understand the dilemma you are in. I would, however, suggest you contact Google and ask for a different set of ads be placed. If that can't be done, I would at least put a disclaimer that you have no control of the content at your site.

Mr. Bodey is a longtime friend of mine and prayer warrior from Oregon and I believe sometime ago I forwarded a piece of yours to him and he made subsequent contact with you. I think he may have put your old Islam in Action site on his approved list and began forwarding your site on to all in his groups.
Yeah, that area has its share of Muslims but they have Jews, Croatians, Vietnamese, Hindus, Christian Scientists, you name it. I know that area fairly well but I can't picture the bulding.
Doing OK but not great, times are tough on us as they are with so many of us.
