Myopically educated

Dear Edward,

methinks thou dost protest to much.. The dry dead halls of acedemia where I suspect you spend most of your time researching may be enlightening as written, but descent to the real world, and perhaps go to "you tube" to start a new and refreshing course on what is really being preached in mosques by the "religion of peace" and get a street level education of what will ultimately rob you of your freedoms.

The quran gives high and lofty conflicting principles on how to deal with situations. At the fundementalist level, that is not practiced, and often reinterpreted to fit the mind set of terrorists, and by complicity, all muslims. It was enlightening to me to learn that I as a kafir I am less than less and as Dhimmie under sharia if allowed to live would still be less than less. But on the other hand, as a Christian, my Good Book tells me to pray unceasingly, to sing psalms in my heart, and OH! all this is done silently so as to not appear to others as being in prayer. Jesus, in Matthew Chapt 6 Ver. 5 ,6 and 7. shows the Christians how to pray. The noise and grandstanding does not impress God.

Do not quit the site because of disention, it is in the council of many that wisdom is taken. Your comments do not fall on deaf ears, we read them, and sift them, drawing what is good, shelving what is not understood, and in time pulling it all together for the betterment of all.

peace.
