Articles in English are invariable. That is, they do not change according to the gender or number of
the noun they refer to, e.g. the boy, the woman, the children

So, big surprise! Articles in English don't change gender! Surprise.

I suppose you also think THE Muslims mentioned in the article are the
only ones that have ever acted as fundamentalist thugs.

It takes a while to help you understand. I used the word 'the' in my comment, and wasn't referring
to Muslims. You've since deleted it along with the pertinent parts of the grammar lesson I so
helpfully provided.

So, I guess you should be treated the same as Harry...with the respect you deserve.

Goodbye.

You used the word "the." Apparently, you tried to give it some special
meaning that is appropriate for you and not others, so when I used the
word *exactly* the way you did, your response was "Goodbye."

Fine, "Say goodnight Gracie."
