Gilberto:
I don't like quibbling over words but I feel like my statement was
already sufficiently qualified by saying that "it looks like" instead
of saying "You are undermining Islam [full stop]"
I don't think you have nefarious negative intentions. But
I disagree with things you are saying.
Peace
Gilberto
Gilberto,
I do not ask you to agree with me. We are going to disagree sometimes, that is fate (in my estimation). I don't want to quibble words either, but to say "It looks like . . . " Is an absolute statement that it looks like that to any observer.
Please don't get irritated, I do not wish to irritate you, but disagreement in a forum like this is not personal.
Regards,
Scott
