Assimilation?

Which is exactly what you did, sweetheart.

That's kind of ridiculous. There were only 20 people who were killed, world wide, in a whole day?

“But the coming Islamic caliphate country will not rise except at the hands of the fighting sect who raises the flag of Allah and Jihad.”

Statement from the Salafi terrorist group, one of several fundamentalist cells responsible for the slaughter of 150,000 men women and children in the 1990’s.


"Our Jihad consists of killing and dispersing all those who fight against Allah and his Prophet."

"Throat-slitting and murder until the power is Allah's!"

I am trying to decide who makes me laugh more, you or IzzyThePush.

Nah, I don't think

I knew you had a sense of humor.

I haven't found the beliefs you insist are "facts" to be very factual.

Often they are simplistic opinions,

and sometimes they don't make sense.

Insisting that something is a fact doesn't make it factual no matter how many times you do it or how much circular logic you apply.

I am not willing to argue against your facts even when they make no sense. What's the point?

Once you declare that one of your opinions is a "fact" you are saying that it is not-debatable. That makes any reasonable argument impossible.

The facts that I provide are quite factual.

...

I don't apply circular logic.

One of the really neat things about facts is, there is no need for me to make them factual. Facts are just naturally factual of their own accord.

And.... I will tell you the reason that your facts seem like opinions. The things you state as fact are ridiculously predictable and one sided.

I actually respond to him seriously.

Here we try to expose some of these games and help truth-seekers find their way through the maze of disingenuous (often blatantly false) claims about Islam and its history.

If Islam were a Violent Religion Then All Muslims Would Be Violent

What this means is that proof of what Islam teaches or what the Quran says is not necessarily found in what the majority of Muslims choose to do or not do.

Adherents may think or say whatever they want to about Islam, it doesn't change what Islam says about itself. As a documented ideology, Islam exists independently of anyone's opinion.

Don't get jealous, sweetheart. I have far more respect for Oralloy than I do for you. You might notice that I actually respond to him seriously.

If you say that your "facts" are "just naturally factual of their own accord", you will never have a logical.

And, some of us will laugh at this ridiculous assertion.

In a productive discussion, generally the participants agree on a set of facts and note where they disagree. If someone in a discussion doesn't accept your view of the facts, then it doesn't make any sense to use them to prove anything.

Stating... "my 'facts', as I understand them, are the factual facts" is not only ridiculous,

it also makes a discussion of any depth simply impossible.

And.... I will tell you the reason that your facts seem like opinions. The things you state as fact are ridiculously predictable and one sided.

- Pamela suggests that Black Muslims are subhuman hybrids (and procedes to make an anthropological argument to back this up). The logical holes here are obvious... when someone converts do they change species? It is ridiculous. And yet, since this is coming from a conservative voice, you are unwilling or unwilling to challenge it.

- If someone suggests that the 2nd amendment might not provide an absolute right to bear arms, you come back with a set of rationales and arguments to refute such a right (in spite of the fact that many constitutional scholars have disagreed about this).

Your "facts" aren't even to the level of opinions. Your "facts" are a rigid political ideology.

A firmly held Political ideology does not count as "facts".

You should respect everybody and respond to everyone seriously.
