   I  appreciate  you  taking  the  way  of definitions
because  now  I  understand  better your view and I can
agree  that  it  would  be  a good idea to support such
Muslims.  I  would  also support those who don't try to
change  other  peoples but peacefully coexist with them
respecting their ways.

   Best wishes,
