A COMPLIMENT

I am inspired by your extremely reasonable pursuit of hope for positive change in Islam to or at least toward modernity & common sense and all the more so because you accept the validity of Ray's grim perspective as obligatory realism hopefully required in an interim rather than permanent context.

Hope your optimism is validated sooner rather than later, but in the interim I am grateful that Raymond's clarion call for a most (certainly more than ours at present) appropriate posture with a mortal foe is "heard" as widely & clearly as possible and am sooooo glad the Raymond is still gonna be heard as widely as he is thanks to the MEF.

This is actually awesomely reassuring! Thank you both (you who so deeply deeply "gets it" about what the cornerstone of hope itself must always include & Raymond (as well as yourself) for so clearly describing & articulating the severity & nature of the very clear & very present existential threat we again face in defending western civilization itself .

Keep the faith guys
