You will understand liberals and conservatives in a way you never have before. In a way that will make it easier to reach them.Citizen Warriorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09099995788131177949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503986435514614182.post-66311115258081367842016-05-26T20:47:47.371-07:002016-05-26T20:47:47.371-07:00"I've been unhappy with the way so many p..."I've been unhappy with the way so many people approach skeptics and lefties in comment sections when it comes to Islam. Getting through to people is so crucial to the future of our liberty, lives, happiness, and sanity, and I see too many people keep throwing away opportunities to plant growable seeds *because they indulge themselves in emotional venting*."<br /><br />Am I one of these people? I don't know. I go to places like Alternet and ThinkProgress, where Islam has the status of a protected race. I make factual points about Islamic slavery and misogyny, which should connect with the social-justice reader audience, but sometimes I still just make people mad. Of course, the angry, passionate people are the ones most likely to shoot back a bitter reply. I am seeing a very encouraging trend in Leftist forums that show a faction of people are growing more critical of Islam. <br /><br />The thing about these reader sections is: we really don't know what is going on there. I know that there are activists on all sides who devote themselves to propogating their point of view. Some of them come from organizations which may be working together to post talking points. Some may very well be paid. Some, like me, are isolated, untrained amateur activists who are devoting time outside work hours to a cause. <br /><br />For every commenter, there are flocks of people who only upvote comments. For every person who comments or upvotes, there are dozens of people who just read comment sections. <br /><br />I really feel that we all have to participate, even if we are not doing things exactly right. <br /><br />On the other hand, it would also be good to start really looking for research about influencing comment sections. How long is a good comment? What style appeals to people? What are the most persuasive points we can make to the neutral crowd? What talking points appeal to the progressive Left?<br /><br /> <br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503986435514614182.post-82987688341275741422016-05-26T01:10:04.590-07:002016-05-26T01:10:04.590-07:00Someone emailed this:

The Koran contains the doctrine of violence and killing for the advancement of Islam. As found the Koran in,for example, 4:89. 5:33. 9:5,111,123. 47:4. Furthermore, the word "Islam' does not ,as some claim, mean "peace." The word Islam' means actually means submission" of surrender." . So it’s a good idea not to take at face value the claim that the word Islam means “peace.” For example, the ENCARTA WORLD ENGLISH DICTIONARY copyright 1999 defines Islam as “submission” based on the word “aslama” meaning “he surrendered.” Given the definition it’s an odd phenomenon that after about fourteen hundred years starting on September 12, 2001 the meaning changed from “submission” to “peace.” It’s very well known that if the police are questioning someone and he changes his story something is wrong. Nevertheless, when it comes to Islam no one gets suspicious of the change. The jihadists brag that they will win the war against the West by using the Western ignorance and naive gullible mindset on the subject of Islam against us. It seems that they do have some basis in that claim since so many Westerners are beguiled by the Muslim disinformation campaign.Walter Sieruknoreply@blogger.com
