2) You write, "about Islam, the very rigidity is its strength". Really? I wonder why you chose the word "rigid" which has a very negative connotation. Incidentally, the word Philistine, which you are so fond of using is no longer used in polite company. This is a quaint little word coined by Anglos and anglophiles (the very ones you detest), to describe Palestinians and hence as an extension by their own logic uncultured people. RE: The very language, English, that we use is "Anglos and Anglophiles", in the ultimate analysis, isn't it? I think that You talk without knowing your English! There is a difference between a thinker and a wishful thinker. You wish it were like how you posit it. For Palestinians have nothing to do with the word Philistines. Philistines are people who lift a culture lock, stock, barrel without assimilating or growing into the culture. They wear a culture like a thin sheet of parchment, skin deep and shallow and showy.
