Answering the Critics

I do not hide behind anonymity to attack anyone. I am anonymous because I post the things I do. I do not post the things I do because I am anonymous.
The main reason I post anonymously is because not everyone will restrict their criticism of this site to online forums. There are always those who are willing to go further.
Israellycool gained some visits from me in the past few days, to see what it’s like over there.. but don’t let the title fool you; this guy is not israeli, and his political posts are.. well, not cool – unless you dig the middle east policies..It’s also worthy to check in the FAQ section he mentions he hates fundamental islamists’ guts, then later states he’s a fundamental jew.. hmm, anyway.

In my FAQs, I mention how I am religiously “observant”, and that I hate Islamic terrorists and the version of Islam they propogate.
I am highly insulted that I could be compared to terrorists. While we both espouse to be leading “religious” lifestyles, I reject the notion that you can be following G-d’s word and deliberately killing innocent people – or condoning it.
Just like I am a religiously observant Jew, I respect religiously observant Muslims. Islamic terrorists are not religious. They are corruptors of Islam. While I do not profess to be knowledgeable about Islam and the Quran, it is hearing of people like this, and corresponding with people like this, that gives me faith that Islam and terrorism need not be synonymous with each other.

UzF, like all too many Muslims, doesn’t seem to recognize the difference between religious piety and religious fanaticism.
Similarly, he is one who buys the “Jewish and Christian fanatics exist; therefore Muslim fundamentalism is nothing noteworthy” rationalization hook, line and sinker.
