Chill, Phil.
I can't believe the level of antagonism coming through your keyboard.
I'm "clueless" for not knowing Nasrin's gender? Harsh, man. While I
have many contacts with Muslims from around the world, I had never
heard the name Nasrin before and recalled nothing in her emails that
betrayed her gender.
If choosing to love people, regardless of my knowledge of their
gender, is an agenda, then I suppose I have an agenda. I'm genuinely
surprised that my decision to love a Muslim I've never met upsets you
so much that you feel it necessary to accuse me of having "low
general
knowledge" and being "clueless." Where does such a miserable world
view come from?
Just observation - you believe in sky fairies and supporting others
who are
attacked for proselytising their sky fairies because an attack on one
sky
fairy is an attack on all sky fairies . .
I won't use the LO list to advance my views of Christianity.
Good - and others should not use it to advance their superstitions
either.
I use
other lists for that, where it is admittedly more appropriate. But, I
reserve the right to come to the defense of another who has been
unfairly attacked for what she happened to put in her signature line.
(I'll blindly accept your assertion that Nasrin is female.) I felt
your attack unwarranted and unworthy of a gentlemen, regardless of
your religious views.
Well if you weren't clueless (which is not consistent with you
believing in
fairy stories) you would have realised by now that I don't have any
and that
I don't approve of others proselytising on this list . .
P.
Sorry, Tom, I had to respond to Phil, and I felt I had to do it on
list.
I'll let it go, now.

Please note that the original message by Nasrin was on a topic
germane

this list. One member with an excessively tender sore spot
objected to
something in Nasrin's signature that expressed his sincerely held
faith.
There was no intent on Nasrin's part to proselytize or to demean
another's
faith, as Phil's diatribe does.
I tend to agree about signature lines. They can contain all kinds
of
things having nothing to do with LO. Sometimes they're funny;
That would be fine . .
other
times they are informative about the writer. Phil's signature line
includes his address in Australia, which is informative, but has
nothing to do with LO. Nasrin's signature line includes a a few
lines
about his Muslim faith,
Another person with low general knowledge . . again I am not
surprised .
.
also informative but also having nothing to do
with LO.
I pretty much ignore signature lines, and I can't possibly imagine
being offended by one, regardless of what it might say.
a Christian who loves Muslims
And there we have it - another person who has an agenda - they can't
criticise someone else for proselytising their superstitious
nonsense
because they have their own superstitious nonsense . . a person who
"loves"
someone else but does not even know that the person they "love" is a
"she"
and not a "he" . . clueless . .
