Hi all, I really appreciate participating in your forum and will start my posting with new information.
After the tragic attack on 9/11 and the war on terrorism, Islam remain the fastest-growing religion in America and in the world although religion is no longer dominates everyday life in Western society.

You actually haven't proved me wrong yet... we just have a different belief system is all.

You actually haven't proved me wrong yet... we just have a different belief system is all.

Let's recap:

A fallacy? Prove it!

You hold no water on that prejudice post.

First, you thought the article was Anti-Islam. Then when I said it wasn't and demonstrated that it actually mentions Christian denominations, you change your story to:

Obviously you brought up the article because it was intended for Islam

You clearly didn't read the article, because it doesn't contain the word Islam or Muslim even once.

Tell me, how can you argue against something when you didn't even bother to read the points I was trying to make?

And yet you still claim:

Trust me I'm not wrong, I didn't even misunderstand your post or article

You're looking pretty wrong to me.

Next, you purport that the Middle East is more tolerant than the West.

Western Civilization is welcoming Muslims?... Muslims have no problem with Western Civilization other than the politicians and media... Muslims have respect for every person in this world.

Tell me who is more fair. You claim the West is unfair for simply questioning Muslims more frequently than non Muslims. However, I bring up the fact that it is part of Muslim law to give dhimmi status to non Muslims and to impose a jizya and karaj on them. Which is more fair, questioning Muslims (let's forget that most recent terrorist attacks against us have been carried out by Arab Muslims), or taxing Non Muslims. To me, if I'm innocent, I'd rather answer questions than have to pay extra taxes and be treated like a lower class citizen.

Next, you try to throw up a smokescreen by making a bunch of claims that have no backup (Quran is flawless, Bin Laden works for CIA, etc.) and you put words in my mouth (Islam is jealous of our freedom) and make countless assumptions of my knowledge of Islam. And that's just in this thread.

Sorry, you're wrong. QED.
