  Problems with online dialogue
One issue is that we all want to speak about substance, but we all have so much baggage. Of course, being human, we don't declare our baggage up front. It all becomes obvious slowly. Second, we all want to speak about substance, but we all look first at intentions. We can't know each other's intentions. We don't really know each other. Third, we all want to speak about substance, but we don't take the time to listen carefully. Lastly, to any passer-by who is wondering what all this non-sense is, if you really want to understand Muslims, try to approach them in real life. That would be much more helpful to you. I think I'll setup an e-mail account where you can e-mail me if you want. Stay-tuned :)
