Reader comment on item: How Many Muslims in the United States?
in response to reader comment: Victor, you should be proud
Submitted by Shilpa Popadum (United Kingdom), Jun 27, 2007 at 07:10
Hi Michael,
Living in the West, I enjoy all the freedom of attending whatever place of worship I choose to go to and I appreciate this. I hope one day that this will be the case in Saudi Arabia.
The Armenian and Assurian Christian communities are an integral part of the Middle East and should be allowed to build their place of worship where they choose to regardless of modern borders.
You are incorrect to claim that Muslims are liars, I am sorry you feel that way.
Shilpa
