Thank you for the example.

By the way, the term is "ironic", not "cynical."

Please bear in mind the purpose of my message.  Several people claimed that
Islam was demonstrably inferior to Judaism and Christianity, and cited facts
to that effect.  I pointed out that they omitted similar facts about Judaism
and Christianity, and that therefore the comparison was not valid.  The
intent was not so much to attack Judaism or Christianity as to disprove
false claims made concerning Islam, which in fact is no worse than Judaism
or Christianity by an impartial standard.
