To Wendal:

I believe that trust needs to be earned, and is very difficult to get back once trust has been lost. I know this from personal experience.

I did condemn Osama bin Laden and all those who followed him shortly after the 9/11 attacks in a letter that was published on WorldNetDaily.

Apparently, moderate voices among Muslims are not heard by most people for the same reasons that voices from conservative blacks and good news from Iraq are not: We are viewed as "anomalies" who are "not newsworthy" and "phonies" by "mainstream" journalists.

Nonetheless, I am honest about my views, opinions and beliefs and will remain steadfast and patient, so help me God. One can cheat mankind with lies and deceit. But one can never fool God. He is watching us all and misses nothing.
