My further response to Mr. DNM

Hi dear DNM,

You are also skipping my point that why the West even a millinium since the crusades considers Islam as alien. Why cannot you people consider Muslims as equal to you.? Why do you want to destroy Islam ?

See all these issues like Gospel of Barnabas are trivial issues. The real issue happened during the lifetime of Prophet Mohammad(PBUH). The Jews and Christians at the time rejected the prophet becuase the prophet was an Arab. That was the most tragic aspect of Muslim relations with the judeo-Christian world. Kindly go through the following example to understand the issue :

This is like a boy coming from poor backgrounds in an University where he meets a beautiful girl from rich backgrounds and then he is impressed by the personality of the girl. He falls in love with the girl. He first befriends her and some time later asks her hand for marraige. But the girl rejects him. Now the condition of this boy is similar to what the prophet felt when he was rejected by the Jews and Christians.

Kindly try to understand the Muslims on the above issue.

And on the quote on Huntington's remark , I still think that is the most important thing Muslims need to learn from the Western civilization : "Organized and systematic use of violence".

And on your line "His Bogus Blog" kindly take note that this current blog belongs to Dr. Daniel Pipes , not me. Like you , I only post my ideas in the shape of comments , in this blog. Now if you want to call this blog "Bogus" , Dr. Pipes might have some issues with that.
