But honestly, I cannot tell about the tone of some of your comments - and you have posted many. I hope they don't fall into the "trolling" category. Thank you for the link to the Mother Teresa video. I admire her - she's an amazing role model. But I don't thank you for some of the links you have sent that I have not displayed. I feel they are not in the spirit of Jesus (peace be upon him), Mother Teresa or maybe even yourself (only you would know). I cannot answer for the actions of Muslims who choose not to follow the teachings of the Qur'an and the prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h.) in the same way as you cannot answer for George Bush, a "committed" Christian. I hope you would see at least by reading my blog (and maybe some of the links on my blogroll), that Muslims are a diverse group of people - there are many of us who wish only to live our lives in a way which will please God due to its peaceful, affirming interactions with His creation - just as I see that people of other religions are diverse; truthfully, I see the good in ALL the people I meet. I have NEVER met anyone who is different from me and seen that person only through the filter of the negative actions of a few who belong their religion/race/culture/etc. I hope you are not doing that to the Muslims you encounter. peace again.

Peace. Arthur Hi Commonplacer,

I was watching this http://www.catholic.org/video/?v=49 and thought you’d appreciate what Mother Teresa had to say (at the elapsed time of 6:30 [6 min. 30 sec.] and at 13:30 especially); although there’re many points throughout upon which Muslims and Christians might have agreement about the character of God, and how God works in the world.
