@parados,
Quote:It's not unexpected that you wouldn't use the great number examples of actual violent acts...when that's primary evidence that the topic of whether or not Islam is dangerous must rest on
Quote:Which shows how nonsensical your argument is. One could find a great number of examples of Priests molesting children. I can find quotes from the bible about selling young daughters into slavery. There are Christian sects that marry off young girls and quotes from those leaders supporting that. Does that allow me to argue that Christianity is made up of child molesters who have sex with young children? Your argument is just as ludicrous when you use anecdotal evidence and declare it can be used to describe the whole group.
My apologies, I meant to say 'the great number of violent acts done in the name of Islam...shows what happens when you are rushing to go to work. Though having said that exact phrase so much...it should perhaps have been obvious.
Anecdotal evidence? Are you trying to say that 9-11 didn't happen, that the Spanish train bombings didn't happen, that the Bali bombings didn't happen, the the London tube bombings didn't happen? (and they are actually only the best known ones)...or just that Islamic radicals had nothing to do with them?
Are you saying that there aren't numerous Islamic terrorist organisations? just do a wikipedia search)What rock are you hiding under?
For all these Islamic Terrorist Organisations, are non-muslims (who don't convert) allowed in? No...so Islam is it's common inspiration
What about ISIL - is it inspired by Islam (of course it is, it's in the name, and only muslims are allowed to join). What's their goal...oh dear, to create an islamic state, and to do so through...extreme violence.
How many members are there of ISIL? 30,000 - 60,000 (depending on reports)...and they must all be deluded about Islam, most of them being life long followers.
And are you trying to say that Western countries aren't worried about radicalised muslims in their own countries being likely to commit terrorist acts, and that they aren't trackign them because of that? Again, what rock are you hiding under?
Are you saying that the destruction of numerous churches in a number of different countries, attended by natives to each of those countries, isn't motived by Religion (in this case, Islam)? Again, what rock are you hiding under?
When church destruction and attacks on egyptian christians in Egypt went through the roof...what party had come to power? Why, the Muslim Brotherhood. When they were booted, guess what happened? It settled down.
Are you saying that the Holy Warriors of the Afghanistan / Russia wars, who came from numerous countries around the world, weren't motivated by Islam? That would indicate ignorance (the point of this eample being how Islam inspires people into conflicts not otherwise remotely related to them)
The list of these sort of questions is so extensive, and the common thread is...Islam.
But of course...you refuse to even acknowledge the violence done in Islam's name with nonsense excuses like:
- you didn't provide any evidence (of course, I did, from P16-p21)
- you didn't define 'violence in the name of Islam' (it's self explanatory, shouldn't have to)
- when I did define it for you...you then claimed it was not a definition (it was - your argument was about evidence, rather than the definition being wrong)
- you then claimed 'it's not scientific' (of course...I just provided so many real life examples)....and then your lastest ridiculousness
- "9-11 and all other like incidents are only anecdotally related to Islam"
Seriously?
And you can't see how your credibility suffers from such ridiculous evasiveness?

In any event, you aren't the first to engage in such close minded, evasive behaviour. It was the major reason I went to just posting links, and quite frankly I guess I'll return to that - it will eventually speak for itself to anyone that follows the ongoing examples around the world, and starts looking into the causes.
