Hi everyone,
Apologies for my bad English. English is not my mother tongue.
Let us not use this mailing list to discuss religion. Let us concentrate on

Thank you

Dear Fred,
We have 'n' number of mailing lists and forums to discuss politics and
religion. I am subscribing to many such mailing lists, and I take part in
active discussion in them. But now that we are here in gender gap mailing

Do you want me to try to develop a Religion-L list? Because I have no shame
in bringing out the WIKILOVE to make you people all snuggly and content with
I wouldn't mind a religion-L list, if it means that the argument here ends.

This rant is inappropriate.
Islam doesn't do tolerance, in the sense that we understand it. In Islam

Arnaud, I think you should not underestimate the impact of poverty as
compared to religion. Before the Western world became the 1st World, the
typical Christian was just as intolerant, bigoted, and patriarchal as
your most extreme Muslim. Once Westerners went from being peasants to
