The Art of Muslim Counter-Argument
By Bernie on 10 Dec 2011
Whenever I write that Islam now, today, in our present age, at the current time, is a cruel, slavery-promoting, savage, violent, primitive, anti-Semitic, cruel, uncivilized, misogynistic and barbaric cult, then invariably the standard response from Muslims and their apologists is a silly non sequitur.
For example, when told that slavery is still practiced in Muslim countries today, the typical response is, "But there was slavery in the US 150 years ago."
When told that Christians today are being persecuted and killed in Muslim countries, the typical response is, "Hey, remember the Crusades a thousand years ago?"
So yesterday I found this conversation among my readers in regard to my article The Most Offensive Muslim Jokes Ever:
hdsghds (from Melbourne, Australia): "these fail so much."
Tom (from London, UK): "Yeah, just like the notion that Islam is a Religion of Peace. Fail."
Omar (from Hicksville, NY): "Just like the notion that most white people aren't racist. Fail"
I left Omar this reply:
Omar, what do whites and racism have to do with the fact that Islam is a religion of war? Is that how you justify the fact that Islam is a violent, savage, barbaric cult, by throwing up a non sequitur? And anyway, 100% of white people in the world do not go around muttering, "We're not racists, we're not racists ..." However Muslims all over the world do go around insisting that Islam is a religion of peace, which is clearly, obviously, absolutely a lie.
And so it goes. If I report on some current Islamic massacre, Muslims will offer as rebuttal a Christian savagery that occurred in the year 1520. Just face it, Ahmed, your religion as it is practiced today is just so 632 A.D. Muslims need a reformation to become civilized. Pointing at past Christian and Jewish barbarities doesn't excuse current Islamic ones.
