Thank you so much for your fair intellectual efforts on behalf of honest open debate. You are doing an invaluable service to our nation and to those of us who live in an enlightened world. The Muslim faith is a strong dynamic tolerant religion that was kidnapped close to two centuries ago with the onset of Wahabbism and the terrible pact made between its proponants and the Saudis. As keeper of the keys to Islam they have done a terrible disservice to the followers of Mohammed and the believers in Allah. One can only hope that the tolerant middle of the road Muslim majority begins to finally speak out with reason. Your voice, although not coming from the Muslim World, is one of the few voices of truth and reason and again I thank you for all your efforts.
Someday many of my liberal heroes will wake up and realize that your voice is one of the few for real tolerance. Keep up the great work. - Jerry Goldman
