RUSS REEVES ON ISLAM...
"I won't defend the way these three choose to criticize Islam, but it's hard not to notice a strange trend: When Jerry Falwell said Islam is a religion of terrorism, Islamic clerics said this was false, and called for Falwell's assassination.

Russ used to pop in on the Evang-Ortho discussion list and I always found his comments stimulating. Then I found his blog the other day and I patted myself on the back for being such a good surfer.

Not to be confused with Russ Reeves the commedian.
