It is true that the post was a bit extreme in style. Your criticisms were generalized and therefore not easy to respond to. Two of the more obvious points I was making can be re-stated more simply: (1) Islam is so different from, and incompatible with, the religion of Blessed Mary MacKillop and traditional Catholics, that it is foolish to pretend otherwise. (2) Christians are faced with the possibility of real persecution from resentful and cashed-up enemies, and we must consider whether our belief is strong enough that we are ready to suffer and die for it. Thanks again. Please keep in touch. Arnold Jago Thank you for the comment.

At no point in your rambling, incoherent post were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone who has read this is now dumber for having done so. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul. What you have just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard.
