Four.
Two of them are presently students of mine. Another was a student and a good friend for many years. I dearly miss him, but he dissappeared right after 911. What I didn't know at the time, is that the Koran strictly forbids him from having a Christian or a Jew as a friend. Instead it says he must lie in wait for me and smite and kill me at every opportunity. But this was not my gentle friend, though he considered himself a devout Muslim. He apparently does not follow the central holy book of Islam. A crummy muslim, I guess, but I love him and miss him.

How about you?

And did you think you would bring me to my knees with your incredibly clever zinger of a question?

Had I said I knew none or a thousand, it would not change a letter of the Koran or a letter of the truth. Your tack was an illogical move, sir. For the source of truth does not change its value, but the tack of a line of questioning may most certainly lose its validity.

Same as my muslim friends.. They didn't kill me either..

Actually, the fact that I was religious was revered among them.

I had no idea they were Muslim, till I offered one a piece of our pizza during his fast... They were that overt and that opressive.
