Carol,

my point was not the content of your remark (that's ok with me), but the language and the expression. I know from reading this thread that others had already made that point regarding the USA. Had they made that general point using the words as in my quote I would have strongly objected.

McGrath sees rightly why reading your sentence, Carol, I cringed:

Criticising a country (or its government), even if the majority in this country has one faith, is and should never be an attack upon the faith. Criticising the USA is not spreading hate against Christians and criticising SA (for instance) is not spreading hate against Muslims.

That's where I wanted to point your attention to.

I'd prefer you to answer me in more polite language, but there is no way I can influence the way how yxou like to express yourself.

Wolfgang
