I would appreciate, Pro-Israeli Democrat, if you would answer a few questions for me that will help me to understand your comments.

1. Why do you find it necessary to declare that you are an atheist? In what way does it enhance or affect your point of view?

2. Why do you believe that Islamophobia is an unfortunate, contemporary reality? As an example, I fear crocodiles, sharks and cobras. Therefore should I find myself amongst these creatures, I will take steps to protect myself. These steps will not harm these creatures unless my life is at risk. Similarly, I believe that we should fear Muslims, unless they prove to us that they are not a danger to us or our society, and if they can't, should we not take steps to protect ourselves? Or do you believe that we should allow Muslims to board planes without searches?

3. What information can you provide that will demonstrate to us that it was the fear of Jews that led to the most disgraceful instance of modern genocide: the Holocaust? For whatever reasons the Nazis had for killing Jews, it seems unlikely that it included a fear of the Jews.

4. Which Fundamental Christians have acknowledged that they wished to dominate the world and by what means did they reveal this desire?

5. Which Christians were targeted for killing by the Crusaders?
