Don't let anyone provoke you to respond in un Islamic way

I fully endorse what Abdul Rahman Reijerink says here. We must not let them draw a line - them and us. That does not serve Islam. Try to respond in a logical dispassionate way. If you feel enraged at some insults and abuses you read on this forum, just ignore them, but don't abuse them back, that is my request to any Muslims on this forum. You never know, the person who is hurling abuses now may get 'hidaya' tomorrow and may become much more pious person than any of us. There have been countless instances of that in history. Let us remember that God never closes the door on anyone, what right have we to do it?
