Has anyone found a link yet?

i found this one earlier but it is from '98 (i think the same one that MrAngry eluded to) so unless arthur is just trawling the webanet looking for muslim threads and failing to spot the dates then i think the story is a figment of his imagination ...either that or he just lost at the bingo

That's very socially responsible of you and, I must admit, a somewhat surprising - and welcome - change from your usual criticisms of the religion.

I'm not prejudiced. I criticise all religions. except for the fairy God one.

I didn't say you were prejudiced Gary - your assertion that you are not seems to be something you feel needs to be said.

What I said was that I found your comment "I think it can show the importance of Mecca." to be refreshing in that you had obviously realized and endorsed the fact that the corrective measures taken by the indonesian muslims reflected the importance of Mecca as an iconic religious symbol.

Doesn't the local Muslim community have anything better to do, than complain about something that has been going, before the name Muslim was ever mentioned in this easy going country.

Another Arthur rant with no proof, no links and no reality.

The first English-language Qu'ran appeared in 1649 Arthur. It's a fair bet the name 'Muslim' was first mentioned in this easy going country some time before 1960.
