Hi, Plato ! Nice to see you again!
> Ibn Masud was only doing his Islamic duty of daawa. He has invited all us infidels to Islam. He has done his good deed for the day and awaits his reward for it when judgment day comes.<
I have never suspected him (or any other Moslem) of being capable of any unconventional thought or action. He did it instinctively without thinking - just as a chaindog does when he barks at a stranger. And he got what he deserved - a rebuke. Now I expect him to make his next instinctive Moslem move and declare jihad on me calling upon every "good" Moslem to kill me, enslave my family and steal my property. Allah may award him with some extra huris on the Day of the Judgment but still even before that it would be nice of Allah to grant his barking and poorly educated slave ibn Masud a reasonable share of the prospective Polish swag. ;)
