His prophet was paranoid and thought that everyone was plotting against him; he passed on this paranoia to his followers, telling them that they must not befriend or trust <i>kufar</i> who would certainly betray them.<br /><br />Add to this a certain (how can I put it?) <b>fluidity</b> which surrounds the concept of truth- telling for Muslims (again because their prophet said that they could lie if it was expedient)and the havoc that must play with their capability to reality test, and it's little wonder that they are entirely capable of believing the equivalent of sixteen impossible things before breakfast.<br /><br />We see it in the frankly bizarre pronouncements of Muslim spokesmen (remember Comical Ali, who insisted that Iraq was winning the war while in the background were American tanks?) who evidently believe that if they say that something is or is not so then that is the truth, and the more they say it the more they expect us to believe them.Babshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01228097284619185035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503986435514614182.post-57151588540701623382011-02-05T07:39:00.748-08:002011-02-05T07:39:00.748-08:00In the name of political correctness & extreme...In the name of political correctness & extreme tolerance for all things evil we sign our own death sentence. Most try to splice DNA of Islam between Radical Mulims vs moderate Muslims vs non practicing Muslims. It seems the very core of this is their deeply ingrained culture mindset (ideals),in their belief their way of Allah is Supreme, every other belief should be crushed into submission. We play a dangerous game of submission in the name of religious tolerance. IE: the fate of Egypt in the hands of The Muslim Brotherhood.

...A reader named Alexander emailed us this comment:<br /><br />Your example of the muslims' acceptance of beating their wives is a clear example of the vast cultural differences in Western thought and Islamic thought. In the west , not only did we have respect for the woman/mother figure in our ancient cultures of Greece and Rome, but during the middle ages the whole culture of "courtesie" arose around the Royal "Courts" of Europe, where men became :"Gentlemen" and fought and competed for a lady's favor. Our Western respect for women is also no doubt related to the traditional respect for Mary, mother of Jesus.<br /><br />In addition, our respect for women is further reinforced by our Age of Enlightenment, of the 18th. century, when our great philosphers debated all of these issues. None of these aspects of our rich cultural history have been shared or experienced by the Islamic peoples who have been stuck in tribal thoughts of the 7th. century since that time.Citizen Warriorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06265844262699107352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503986435514614182.post-51982244776018399862011-02-01T06:28:43.892-08:002011-02-01T06:28:43.892-08:00That is a very important point.

The Muslim will look at external signs of rejection, but upon seeing your stoic face, may be left in a dubious state. Whereas the Non-Muslim may be already to defend Islam or Muslims, but seeing that both you and the Muslims seem in agreement, may be left to defend the beated woman (if he's looking for a victim or an objection).Angelanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503986435514614182.post-3476881125570218702011-02-01T03:17:23.560-08:002011-02-01T03:17:23.560-08:00Good thinking.

It's another case of one of those things you kind of know already, but don't really know it well until someone explains it.<br /><br />Of course there is the distinction that, as you said, Muslims in Muslim countries are open about these things. In the US these things are still supposed to be secret, so a stealth jihadist will be dismayed that you have discovered these things already, but a phase 1 baby Muslim, or Mecca Muslim that has not yet learned about the phase 4 Medina Muslim that he is supposed to mature into will, of course, be offended that you are insinuating that Islam is not a religion of peace and the most beautiful thing on earth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503986435514614182.post-88881797318216363822011-02-01T00:17:20.233-08:002011-02-01T00:17:20.233-08:00Hi Rahil,

And when you are explaining their doctrine (without disdain), a Muslim would not be insulted. <br /><br />And you can further explain that your listener's belief that a Muslim would be insulted would actually BE an insult to a Muslim (because it implies there is something "obviously" wrong with the Muslim doctrine).<br /><br />Does that make it clearer?Citizen Warriorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06265844262699107352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503986435514614182.post-19150087992197177772011-01-31T22:06:48.245-08:002011-01-31T22:06:48.245-08:00So who are you;)

I did not understand it:<br /><br />And I think you can explain some of this and make it clear that their assumption (that you are being insulting to Muslims or indicting them) would itself be insulting to a Muslim! Their assumption is the insulting, un-multiculturalist faux pas. Get that across and you will have laid the groundwork for a new openness to the facts in their minds!Rahilnoreply@blogger.com
