hmmmm. since i've never actually had dialog in usenet with a muslim, i can't
really say your point is well suited to be taken. i really should at least
have had the opportunity to show that i am a hypocrite, right? we are after
all, in this country, innocent until proven guilty? right? are you
predicting future behavior and settling judgement preemptively? why does
that sound like a familiar practice?

ok, i'm ready. give me a muslim who is willing to discuss his religion.
wait...no need. since i have already prepared myself for such a dialog with
christian, judeistic, islamic, mormon, hindu, budhist, and wiccan religious
dogma, several things can be infered.

1) i take the subject of religion seriously
2) i have taken time to *fully* understand the tenents of those listed
3) i am prepared to discuss this topic at any breadth or depth with anyone
4) am not, nor have not, singled out any single religion - especially out of
some vent i may...as you presume.

be assured, if the muslim school in new york city is being pay with public
funds, i'll certainly be up in arms about it. you shouldn't be surprised
though, that this is the first i've heard of it. i keep quite busy
contracting and haven't read the paper or watched the telly in about a
month. again, that would negate my opportunity to engage in hypocrocy.

when you actually get a point to make rather than a reaction to give,
herb...post something valid that we can whittle away with. let me just say,
we won't be getting on well or for very long if the rest of your replies
being with ad-homonyms - and uninformed, assumptive ones at that.

cheers.
