...there are some on both sides that like to bait and provoke reactions for the thrill of it!

Others however are just ignorant of many things and just wish for a better understanding!

There are too many factions that would prefer people to fight and not talk out differences! From your posts I know that both you and Gypsy are intelligent and educated! Sometimes, it's just about showing some people different points of view!

I've done that for years in the UK. Remember, both my older brothers are muslim.

Often it can turn nasty, but remember, we are fighting for the same thing, compassion and understanding, regardless of religion.
