@coldjoint,
11: there's no question to start with, so there is no answer to look for.
@coldjoint,
I suppose you can just stick your head in the sand and blow smoke out your ass. You seem to be good at that. You certainly don't have a clue about history.
@coldjoint,
I believe you have forgotten a lot.
@coldjoint,
You are the one that made the claim that Islamic scholars weren't really scholars. Why don't you tell us what is wrong in the history of this site?

I am curious why you have Arabic numbers on your keyboard coldjoint. Could you please explain that to us?
And can you explain this?

That trashes your article right there.
Actually, that trashes your narrative. Islam is actually an intellectual and peaceful religion if you want to stand by those quotes.

OK Frank, the answer for handling Islam is to stop all aid, immigration from, and tech help for Islamic nations.
Trade food for oil, or raise the prices for food to balance the books.
Islam will have to build their own infrastructure, feed their own poor, and stimulate their own economies. Islam would self destruct
I know it sounds drastic but inviting an intolerant culture into a tolerant one spells doom for the tolerant. And only a fool would argue with that.
Thank you for that, CJ.
Earlier you mentioned an Islamic teaching:

After reading the reply above, I cannot help but think you are saying that the best way to "handle" Islam...is to become more like them. You are essentially advising us to:
Be harsh to those who follow Islam...but merciful to one another.
Something about that just doesn't ring right.

Frank, Islam has no golden rule. I am only purposing that someone needs to explain that concept to them.
It doesn't sound like that is what you meant.
Don't re-read what you wrote here.
Re-read what you wrote in your response to me earlier.
Then we can discuss it.
@coldjoint,
Up above, you wrote:

Now you are saying "no."
C'mon.
We can talk...but you've got to be real.
Your ideas for "handling" Islam seem to be treating them like dirt.
You may get lots of agreement from some.
I prefer we not treat anyone like dirt...I prefer we treat everyone decently.
