Theos-Talk Archives (April 2004 Message tt00484)

And, of course, I did not direct my remarks to Paul. I was merely
quoting the books that set the record straight. My remarks were simply
to Ali.

I have not bought onto any supposed statement by CWL, and I don't
recall bringing anything like that up.

In fact, I merely quoting other biographies by people who evidently
have researched the subject and know something of the facts.

I am sorry that Paul is so thin skinned and takes a simple statement
of fact as an attack on him. That was not my intent.
