Come on give me a break. There is nothing being disturbed about this,
Yes, some people can get disturbed at anything, and more so when
a comment on one's religion comes from somebody from some other religion!
Miguel's writings are highly entertaining, and although I have had big
scraps with Miguel previously on email, I have always found Miguel's views to
be highly balanced.
In this case, I think the attack on Miguel has come because he has taken
a middle-line (a non-extreme) view in the fracas between GBA and GPA,
a view that can burst the bubble of the extreme elements who are trying
to tarish and trash GBA and dont want any sort of unity.
