If you imagine otherwise, try to set up an eastern orthodox church, jewish synagogue or any other non-islamic religious center in just about any islamic land. You'd be a marked target for a bombing from day one.
The world needs fewer fools.

I have read some of Dean's posts where he pulls out a true writer's tool, the Fountain Pen sucking up the ink and very crafty uses the word, *mortals* in a dapper way!

Of course we all lose our tempers now and then. Dean freely admits to being imperfect in this regard, which is why regulars to this establishment will generally be cut more slack than people who we don't know very well.
