    1) Vincent *is* fairly mainstream for the list, and I for one
    apppreciate his readiness to join in. If this list is a bit high volume
    for you I suggest you put some filters on (and stop spamming yourself).
    2) We try to avoid personal attacks here (btw don't you think it's
    ironic to make an unsupported attack on someone for alledgedly making
    unsupported claims?).

    My advice is stick to the issues and drop the ad hominems.

    Of course the 'muslim world' doesn't support any one thing. And btw how
    exactly does one *destroy* such an organisation without breeding a
    shitload more of the bastards?
