No u didnt struck a nerve, and Jazaki Allah khairan Jennifer for trying to put a point of order. True. And I wonder whose nerve was struck:confused:  

Sorry if I offended u by asking if you were an international relation student,

No offense taken, no need to apologise. The written word is easily misinterpreted.

And don't worry at all about strucking a nerve as long as you are maintain a respectful position while discussing, and I hope we discuss, Insh a Allah we will try to take from Allah's Name the All Patient, If Allah the Creator treats His servants who don't even believe in Him through this Name and more like the Merciful, who I am not to be patient with someone who is seeking knowledge Habib.

I know I tread a thin line when discussing peoples belief systems but I try to be as respectful as I can. Who am I to judge Islam ?

I was just trying to answer your points if u remember.

Any way Jennifer presented the concept of Jiziyah quite well (tax) I have an article on that in more detail if u r interested

And finally yes Islam is a way of life and all needed rules and regulations are contained in the well protected book of Quran Alhamdulelah

Well may be this will ease the tension:)

I didn't feel it was getting tense although my last little was probably not the right way to exit. Humour is not easy in text
