Lisa, I gave you a detailed answer on November 8th post. I do not want to waste time on individuals like Ed. Everyone in the West is free to think what ever they want.

I might add, like most Muslims, we all have been victims of intellectual dishonesty. Islamic teachers and scholars in Muslim countries never indulge or impart any other knowledge beside Islam. Even when we come to the west the community hover around and the Imams are unwilling to expose anyone to the full picture outside of Islam. All they are good at is in glorifying Islam as against other ideologies and religions.

But anyone with an open mind will wonder why after 1400 years of Islam there is nothing to show. NO intellectuals, authors, scientists, painters , sculptors -- nothing . Its empty of the beauty of life. Its a death cult.
