Noshadylady, warm welcome to the forum!!! I hope these assholes didn't scare you away with their unfair treatment of muslims.
Please ignore Mountain Bison, as he is quite quite crazy. Also grandpa Bison is struggling with dementia.
In any case, I'm for equal treatment of all faiths (and lack of them) on this forum and will not ask you to be not condescending towards anyone, as most religionist get plenty of that directed to them, with no one bitching. Like I said, the forum, just like the world we live in, is unfair.
I enjoyed your comparison of our unhealthy obsession with Islam to abandoning a puppy. I don't think it's the best metaphor, but our hate towards Islam is worth analyzing, and my good friend MaB has explained somewhere here why why we don't obsess with buddhism.
Do you think you will get away with saying stuff like "long story"? No, I want to know everything about you.
Have a parrot, dear
