I did like his response to him being called a muslim. I read about that in the paper today.
He said its a double edged sword when he gets confronted with that. On the one hand, as a Christian, he feels the need for people to know that he is not a muslim, but that he is a Christian.
But he doesn't want to offend any Muslims by making them think that there is anything wrong with being a muslim. And he can't just avoid it all together, because then people are left to wonder on their own why he won't confront that issue.
He said that if he were a muslim and people were spreading the rumor that he were a Christian, he would be just as compelled to set the record straight. Without any disrespect to either religion.
I guess there isn't really much of a way to counter that allegation. At least not in a short response.
