This in the comments section of The Heelers Diaries:

For Christ's sake James which is worse, Muslim fundamentalists or Catholic fundamentalists? You should at least go to the trouble of educating yourself. It's a fact that everything positive in the Christian religion came from the religions of the east.
Wasn't Hitler a failed artist as well?

My reply runs thusly:

Dear Anonymous.
In my opinion the fundamentalists to watch are the ones blowing up aeroplanes, trains, buses and restaurants in western countries.
Your suggestion that the Christian religion has benefited in some way from contact with Islam is insane.
I am a failed journalist, not a failed artist.
James
PS: As well as being an artist, Hitler was for a brief period Chancellor of the Third Reich in Germany, during which time he tried to exterminate the people of Israel while waging total war to enslave the free nations of the west. Does this remind you of anyone else, aside from me?

Erm....didn't the Christian religion come before Islam?
I would say that much that is good within Christianity comes from St. Paul's evangelism (even tho I have a few stern words to say to St. Paul re: women when I meet him) from men and women Christian martyrs, from the grafting of Christianity onto the pre-existing Celtic traditions and from the most sacred rite and act of Christianity, Communion.
Sorry about the lack of sense of humour. Islamic fundamentalism'll do that to ya.
