Thanks, Adnan. I was brought up in a Christian household (when my parents retired they became missionaries and worked in Africa for a while before taking up roles for their organisation within the UK), and haven't really had a great deal of contact with Muslims. I guess many of us have over the last few years developed (maybe even subconsciously) an aversion to anything related to Islam because of how it's followers are portrayed in the media.
You posts above however, are so well put together, showing so much consideration and respect for the beliefs of followers of other faiths, that they have made me think very differently about you as a person and what Muslims really think.
The media has much to answer for.
