I made a comment about "fundamentalist Islam." Syed responded to
distinguish fundamentalist Islam from other type/s.
Which I knew already, but okay.
There are plenty of Muslim people all over the world, and I've had
Muslim friends from Jordan and Iran. I know that fundamentalist
Islam does not represent the majority any more than fundamentalist
Christianity does.
Still, it exists, and is important to some groups of people.

I think John is a decent guy, but he has a caustic way of putting
things. Syed, you are very direct with your opinions, but you too
are a good person. Both of you are intelligent and strong in your
views.
I think this has little if anything to do with race/nationality, on
either side.
I think you both could benefit from a chill pill.
love to all,
