The Druze utterly fascinate me, especially as they have a very closed religion. They don't let outsiders know details know much about it. They rarely accept converts (they claim they never do but I find that hard to believe). Publicly, they will often claim to be Muslims, or to be Christians. Most agree that they are neither, as do they when they're being frank. They look to all the Abrahamic prophets, plus Jesus and Muhammed, as valid but reject major tenets of both Christianity and Islam.

Commenting on Dean's World is a privilege, not a right. Dean is your host, you are his guest, and you should behave in that fashion. Dean is not your babysitter, nor is he your punching bag. Please remember this. In general, you are free to disagree with anyone on any subject you wish, but abusive behavior will not be tolerated.
Of course we all lose our tempers now and then. Dean freely admits to being imperfect in this regard, which is why regulars to this establishment will generally be cut more slack than people who we don't know very well.
Still: behave like an adult, or go find somewhere else to play. Thanks.
