At least Porsche-O-Phile has the sense to post his opinion as his opinion. No problem with that. he has a different opinion than I do, that's fine. That's what makes the world go around.
But when someone posts an opinion as fact, it is no longer a difference of opinion. It is bait for an argument. When it is taken further than that, it becomes an attack on something others hold dear. Then it becomes personal.
Just for ther record, I've made several posts on this board about muslim extremist radicals. Never, ever have I intentionally said anything negative against the religion of Islam. In fact much of what is in the old testiment is also in the koran. They are very close to one another, just from opposite points of view.
I have often talked negatively about the extremists calling them murdering, vicious sub-human animals.
Based on their behavior (blowing up busses, killing innocent people, calling for the extermination of jews, etc) I don't believe a retraction is warranted.
It isn't their religion, it is how they interpret it and act upon it that i have a problem with.
Edit: thank you Todd.
