   After reading this I feel that Mr. Dodd is writing this just to hurt the
   feelings of all non-Muslim readers of this net, although his comments are
   directed at Shari.  I wonder if he is really a Muslim.  From the looks
   of his statements it seems to me that he is only trying to stir up ill
   feelings.  I have excellent Muslim friends and I believe Dodd's 
   statements to the effect that a non-muslim cannot  associate with 
   Muslims are silly.

  I feel that Mr. Dodd is just provoking Shari into getting mad with
  him.  I fully support Shari being a moderator, and I hope moderator's
  previlege will be exercised to keep off useless postings (I place
  Mr. Dodd's posting in that category) from the net.
