Almost immediately I had offended posters jumping on me saying who? and why would you say such a thing?

I responded in saying Im not a person to remember such names...after all why would I? I like to remember who won Oscar for best actor in 1978 but I dont care to remember terrorist names.

Well here is a perfect example that is ...hopefully she is no longer with us....

Personally I have no time for any extremism, there is no reason or excuse for it, but somehow people get drawn into it..

A Muslim converting to Christianity is signing your own death warrant yet we Christians do nothing when other Christians convert to Islam. In her case we should have made an exception.

I thought it was pretty ridiculous how you were jumped on when you made that comment. There have been many examples in the media of convert terrorists. But sometimes it suits ones agenda to ignore this then they can be offended.
I think it is a sign of our times that people like to get offended themselves or get offended on someone else's behalf. It's all quite pathetic.

Well then just be happy you have the freedom to choose, some people don't have the same luxury. I was born into a Christian family C of E but I choose to be a pessimist and not an atheist.
