Rather then my trying, in vain, to convince you that you don't have a
glimmer about what you are taking about I suggest that you catch a
flight to Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Syria, Palestine, Afghanistan, Indonesia
or any of the other Moslem countries and discuss your proposed changes
to the Koran with the indigenous peoples.

If you will publicize your departure date I will keep close watch on
the news media but my guess is that hardly a week will pass before a
fatwa is issued against you for insulting the faith and we can watch
you dodge the lads looking to gain credit with God by canceling your
ticket.

Don't stand on ceremony now, keep us advised of your travel plans.
Perhaps you to can be on television.
Cheers,
Your contention, then, is that there is only one interpretation of the
Koran, every Muslim interprets it all the same.

That is neither a fair nor a reasonable reading of Bruce's post.

Sure it is. I said various denominations of Islam have accommodated
themselves to democratic governments. As evidence I gave the example of
many Muslims within the US and other democracies who do not feel
compelled to break any laws due to their religion. He apparently thinks
this condition does not exist and any attempt to suggest it does will
result in a death threat against me by Islam. Ridiculous on the face of
it, isn't it?
