I am appalled by some of the comments and attitudes I have read herein. Just who do these people think they are? Do they not allow anybody else an opinion? I wonder if any of them would have the courage to openly debate in public rather than calling people 'idiots', 'Turk lovers', 'old fools', 'Moslem apologists', 'ill educated' etc etc etc. A discussion is one thing but this is simply trading insults dominated by a very opinionated woman who seems to think she is the fount of all anti Moslem knowledge! How do you converse with people like that? This is the type that exists in all political parties, the type that always believes they are right and everybody else is wrong! Then when they cannot get their view accepted they go further. The Moslem extremists do it, the Left do it and so do others herein. What is the difference between any of them?

OR You can say anything you like as long as we agree with it! That is just childish! It is like a bunch of kids trying to shut out things they don't want to hear. One reply asked me what I had learned. The answer is nothing really except the above! And I am willing to learn.. That is my job. Frankly any further discourse with these people is pointless. The main culprit is one 'Susan' . The rest are okay and seem pleasant enough.

I was accused of having no guts.....Why because I refuse to be chided into making more insults.

Pathetic and sad!

What next Susan? gas chambers for 'Turk lovers'? and anybody else you disagree with?

There I insulted you! Feel Better now?

You want to be careful who you upset! The Americans have a saying that, goes 'Be careful who you upset on the way up, because you do not know who you will meet on the way down!'

A sage bit of advice from a 'Turk Lover' and (Jewish descent by the way)!

Don't bother to reply since I shall not grace it with a reply!

Excellent site Dr Pipes ...You have not the guts to debate in public! You are brave enough behind a keyboard. There are millions like you on the Web. Give em a real chance to discuss and they run for cover!

ta ta! and good riddance!
