Hi,

What Islamic hate have I shown? You are putting out false information my friend. I have never called Jews or Christians monkey or pigs nor have I ever said anything negative about the NT. I have said that I did not agree with the Church Dogma and doctrines of the trinity which is not in the NT but I did not denigrate the trinity doctrine. I have much love and respect for Christians and Jews and their Holy Book the Bible. I have never done any of the things that you said. Please show any of my comments to that effect. Some Muslims may have shown hate towards some Christians and Jews and vice versa but that doesn't speak for all. If you have been reading my comments I have condemned all Muslims and everybody else who hate and I have said time and time again that Islam does not condone hatred only peace and love.

Yes, Brit is a derogative term and you should not call a Briton that. You should call them Briton or British or if you know that they are Irish, Welsh, Scottish as appropriate. It could be considered offensive to call them Brits if you are not a Briton. British (English, Northern Irish, Scottish and Welsh combined) people may consider some if not all irreverent terms to be offensive, or in some cases even racist. The IRA used the term Brit a lot during their struggles and so I would not use it if I were you. It is best to be above ignorance and not be disrespective of other people's nationality. I know that we in the U.S. are sometimes a little arrogant and call other people degrading terms without really realizing it or may realize it but don't care. That is wrong. We in the U.S. don't like to be called Crackers, Yanks, Gringos, Niggers, Spikes, Chinks etc... so why would you do that to other people like Pakistanis or Britons?

peace
