"As you already know, I'm not a Muslim. But let me just say, that if I were, I'd most likely be one of the most emotionally conflicted people in my little monkey-sphere because there is so much misinformation, uninformed opinion-slinging and general idiocy surrounding Islam out there in the world."
When I was a teenager, I used to feel that way about Christianity (I was part of a small-town independant evangelical church, surround by sneering atheists and disinformation-spreading "faux christian" (as we saw it) Anglicans). Now I'm a grownup with my eyes open a little wider, I realise... boy, we hade it easy! (Also: in retrospect, we more than slightly deserved what we got. =:o\ )
