It is of interest to note that while some dolphins are reported to have 
learned English -- up to fifty words used in correct context -- no human 
being has been reported to have learned dolphinese. -Carl Sagan (1934-1996)

Taher Kagalwala,
Your following para fully vindicates my yesterday's mail to Azim to do more
Reading than Writing.
If even 10% muslims come forward like you and be candid to accept not so
bright side of Islam, much misunderstanding can be avoided. It is widely
believed that a Muslim does not agree to any flaws in his holy book. He
holds on to the Book, even when the whole world sees certain things ( not
whole book please) derogatory to people of other religious denominations.
Must thank your refined and polished Bohri frankness.
Rohit Zaveri.

Dear Azim,

Here is my two rupee worth:

While most of what you have written in defence of Islam is correct, and
Inshallah, get you rewards in the Afterlife, I beg to differ a little on the
issue of secularism.
Unfortunately, the Qur'an does not permit secularism as we understand it
today.
Not only are the non-Muslims, kaffirs, but the Qur'anic instructions clearly
exhort us not to trade with them, not to seek them out in a multitude with
the intention of talking to them, not to grant them private audience, not to
court them for marriage or love, not to do business with them, not to live
with them  etc.
Secondly, you have written that Prophet Muhammad(pbuh) fought non-Muslims.
This is true as far as you take up the context of Muslims as followers of
Prophet Muhammad; otherwise, there was no difference between the followers
of Muhammad and his enemies.
-Taher
