Not only has Greg "advocated or defended the persecution of any religion" but you Jim said that you could see nothing wrong with it!

He now claims he did not mean it.
How about you Jim?

The view that the offending derived from the culture did not and could not come from me.
I know nothing about it and do not care why they do it anyway.
I just said that I believed it, as I might a doctor's diagnosis or a weather forecast or a surveyor's report.

That does not make me a bad person.
