Speaking of language, you call yourself a Meccan Pagan. That Sir, is an oxymoron. You cannot be a Meccan and a Pagan at the same time. Mecca is a city and a pagan is a country person, a rustic or farmer and you are obviously not any of those. What ever meaning the word has come to mean in the minds of Christians is irrelevant. The word "PAGAN" in no way implies a religious belief or practice in any form. Neither does the word "HEATHEN" which merely means a dweller on the heath.

I do not know what religion you believe in if any and I do not care if you believe in anything or not. BUT, I would appreciate it if you would refrain from insulting those of us who do care about the real possibility of Armageddon brought on by impossible hatreds across the board. If Islam does not mean peace then we must make it mean that by teaching the ignorant to live peacefully. We have the ability to transform our world for the betterment but only if we disabuse our selves of our petty hatreds.
