"passing judgement on the whole of Islam," is, you will appreciate Don, a thoroughly ambiguous accusation. It could mean

either - ~a~ passing judgment on the whole of the religion


or - ~b~ passing judgment on all the members of the worldwide community subscribing to that religion.

As to ~a~, I don't see how I could be accused of that. I am in no position to 'pass judgment'. If by 'passing judgment', you mean no more than 'expressing an opinion' on the teachings of that religion as I perceive them, then [despite Richard's very strange denunciation of my being 'more critical of one religion than others', which must rank as the 2nd most fatuous remark I have read on this thread, only outdone by Jim's assertion that, if the terrorist acts were religiously based, then they would all be doing it!], I maintain that I am fully entitled to express an opinion; and it remains my opinion that the religion [I don't see how one can have an opinion of anything but 'the whole' of it] comprises some teachings liable to be mischievous in their influences and effects: an opinion which, I repeat, I am perfectly entitled to express.

I think you will find it hard to quote anything I have written which could justify you in accusing me of ~b~.
