Here, the first couple are on me.

10 brief points Christians should know about Muslims and Jesus




The Islamic and Christian views of Jesus: a comparison

And now that I have been and seen the difference between radical islam and sane islam, I am not willing to vilify a theologian who is a graduate of an American religious school, who shows his belief through kindness to a group of Americans, and with some of them being rude, hateful and not particularly deserving kindness.

However, if you wish to do that knock yourself out. MY POINT which you completely MISSED is that there is no need to 'reach out' to muslims like my guide, and those who need the reaching out will bite the hand doing the reaching. If they won't take the cue from non radical muslims, they sure as hell won't take it from us.

I was in no way vilifying the gentleman of which you speak. And I certainly wouldn't condone rude behavior toward him. On the contrary, Christians are called to be ready to defend the faith with gentleness and respect.

You are absolutely wrong about Christians reaching out to non radical Muslims, there have been many conversions from Islam to Christianity by doing that very thing.

I meant no disrespect toward you either, sorry if you took it that way.

Well hey. Knock yourself out. I understand our troops are now in Afghanistan to 'understand the people.'

What you are doing is called "baiting," and it involves insulting others in an effort to draw an immoderate reaction. It is against the rules of this forum. I would like to see those rules consistently enforced.

John Drake can speak for himself. He does not require that you "demonstrate" or otherwise distort what he has posted.
once again this is not your blog, I am not baiting at all , i was just calling it as it is and making a statement in regards to the fact that liberals seem to have an issue with christians , especially republican christians, unless in this case it fits their agenda

might want to try the ignore feature if you dont want any dissenting views on your blog , or go to a real blog either one

Where there's life, there's hope. Where there's religion, well, there's hope for the self. Not so much for harmony.

I can handle dissenting views just fine. I can also point out when someone is not telling the truth. I am entitled to do that. If inventing things and making assertions that are demonstrably false is the only way you can post here--carry on. I'm sure that you won't mind being laughed at.

Mr. F wants the rules 'consistently' enforced. Hell! I'm not even allowed to say the "H" word because he is such a loose cannon it baits him.
