What it boils down to is that, for all your lip-service to there being "good Muslims" you would rather make their lives more miserable than they already are by blaming their religion - you really have teamed up with the 'Dark Side' - pity, I thought you hasd more about you!

Like unto others, Jim, I give you the benefit of the doubt. I doubt whether you purposely misrepresented my words. I suspect that you either misunderstood or I did not make myself clear enough. At least I hope so.

I do not wish to make anyone's life miserable, even if they insist that I mean things that they cannot possibly know! There is no lip-service to "good Moslems", I know they are in the majority and I am friends with a lot of them. I shop with them. I drink with them (Yes, some do like a tipple!) and I even have my haircut with them. Remember, Jim, I work in Bradford at a place that employs around 3000 people with a high representation of Moslems. Where do you live and work now?

Anyhow, I have stated over and over again that the religion is not the people and the people are not the religion. The fruitcakes who performed this act and those who encouraged them may well insist that they were acting for the love of Allah and Mohammed. And they probably meant it. But all those good Moslems I know and many others I don't know will tell you that the nutters are not acting on their behalf. Eventually they will get rid of the radical factions and live in peace once more.

Now, please stop giving a good cause a bad name by going off on ridiculous flights of fancy. If you wish to accuse me of anything you need to know me an awful lot better to be credible.

Cheers
