Dear FourLeggedWord

Sincere thanks for your comments. I did not mean to hurt your ears. The intent of my Letter to the Editor was not to hurt anyone. I felt I had the right to voice concerns that I have about fearing to be able to speak (not act) up. You make some good points in your reply. The history of mankind is replete with violent things done in the name of religious belief. I just don't know of any devout followers of Jesus Christ who are true to his teachings in the New Testament and are threatening to kill or are actually killing anyone in his name or to defend his honor. If this is happening, please tell me where. In all fairness, there are myriads of devout followers of Mohammed who do indeed threaten to do violence or actually do violence in the name of the Prophet or to defend his honor.
Please correct me if I am mistaken.
Yours,
David Bobkowski
