To Barbara: I am not angry with you.

Dear Barbara,

You wrote that
"I am angry with you, I was trying to make a point. A very important point. "

That's why I suggested you not to participate these kind of discussions. People who are not modest like you will get angry easily and be nasty, inevitably, even they don't mean it. I am sure you are one of genuine Christian believers. But talking one to one with Muslims or any other religious people requires additional effort like patience. We are here talking about concepts not on personal views. If I say something contradictory to your religion this is not a personal attack to you.

We discuss here controversial issues that might lead to serious prejudice not to insult others but to increase understanding among people. Muslims, Jews and Christians were hostile to each other in the past. In this century we have internet. Electronic versions of holly books are available. I want ordinary people like me and you to talk about it so that we can be more tolerant to each other.

I hope that I made myself clear.

Nuray
