My mention or singling out of Muslims is their admirable practice of personal jihad.

The heart-wrenching regret related to any man who despite such despair, your tradition holds that screw him, he is damned unless he holds a specific thought in his head. Failure to hold that thought damns him.

Take a kind, kind, loving, generous sweet and selfless man who genuinely dedicates all of his life to serving and loving others with NO thought of himself - dude is DAMNED unless he holds that special thought. I don't get it.
