Who likes this discussion website

I posted my first command more than 8 months ago. Until now I read many modest posts but at the same time very agressive ones. Some agressive people have no desire to discuss but all they want just to show their anger in most hurting ways. They come and go quickly. Some others like insulting others. They stay a bit longer. When they don´t find easy targets they leave eventually. Real followers of this websites are those who have good background on the religions originally from Middle East. Those people are true believers in their religions. They deserve respect. At the same time the subject is about theology. It requires extensive knowledge. If you read more you hurt less.

What I noticed that most agressive messages come from Asia where Muslims and Hindus have religious and political conflicts. They confuse religion with politics. They hate each other. I read anger from their posts. Insulting messages about Islam come from Westeners. They easily call a messenger as a mass murderer, rapist etc. This is an education problem.

This website is very alive. We are not only talking about old debates. Time to time ex-Muslims visit and share their story with us. Westeners become delighted with ex-Muslims stories. They are usually women. I never read a male ex-Muslim story. Not ex-Christian, ex-Jewish, ex-Hindus yet? Where are Budist?

I send my regards to all religious people.
