Well, if you haven't read all my posts you might have missed it. I am of Iranian descent, but I was born and raised in a western country. My father was half-Iranian, and he fled his country as a young man because he was persecuted for being a Christian. My parents, as well as my brother and I, are all evangelical Christians. |

So using him as an example of a powerful violent Muslim isn't entirely appropriate hellbent on destroying the world isn't entirely appropriate. There are, or were, Christians like that too. |

You'll have to excuse me if I don't give much credence to a single anecdote from an internet forum. |
