Hi Krista,

A very good point, Krista, what other religion is constantly demanding special privileges no other minority, or the majority ever has? And what other religion quickly resorts to violence and threats of violence when their demands aren't met? Buddhists? Bahais? Taoists? No, only one, Islam, the religion of peace.

There is a simple, and sadly, accurate answer to the question you pose in your fourth paragraph: yes.

Best Regards,
Jeff
