mother teresa had a brutal heart? what is wrong with you? i am a muslim and quite revolted by your comments.

so the christians are not following christ and jews not following their prophets, but muslims are? how can one be so self-righteous and expect others to have any respect for them?

these days the image we see is that of half-crazed beardos burning the danish flag all around the world and sometimes they have burnt the swedish and the american flag just for fun - now that's real genius - just because a newspaper publishes a few cartoons, you are going to burn down the country's embassies, make countless death threats, boycott the country's products - in general make a total ass of yourself - and that is somehow normal?

you insult other people's beliefs and claim that yours is the only true path to houri-land and then expect that they show respect for your religion - have you been to saudi arabia - you know what happens to a christian if he/she is caught with the bible (and jews by default are not even allowed to go there) - and yet these same saudis demand that their women wear that silly halloween costume in the u.s., even while getting their photos taken for a driver's license.

dr. pipes has raised important questions - questions that the ancient mu'tazilites must have pondered on - this is not a zionist conspiracy - the parchments have been found - so instead of sitting on them, one should study them regardless of how unpleasant the outcome maybe. only then can muslims come out of their dark ages - by seeking answers to tough questions.
