Locking thread because I don't like its overtones.
Oh.. OK Rick as a philosopher, please explain these "overtones" that are NOT permissible within intelligent philosophical dialogue

What is the problem...is it a friendship or more within dooooopidnessss people of London
It is exactly because a certain kind of people were hostile to Islam that I became interested in what it actually was.
After my initial investigation, I ended up concluding that Islam is pure genius. That is one major reason why I "converted".
What happened, is a variation on the Streisand effect:
You see, you are not defending anything. You are not promoting what you believe in. You are just shit talking other people and their beliefs. So, I already know from the type of arguments that you use, and the uninteresting goal that you pursue, that you can only be wrong.
It is exactly because people like you insist on railing against the Muslims that I like them even more. If people like you hadn't done that in the past, I would probably never have "converted". So, I am grateful to all the shit talkers for pointing me in the right direction.
To some extent, the same holds true about Jews. The main difference with the Muslims is that the Jews don't want me to join their club. So, I obviously won't. Besides that, it is clear to me that Jewish law is genius too, for the same reasons as Islamic law. If there weren't people railing against the Jews, I wouldn't even be aware of the fact that Jewish law is another brilliant take on the same subject.
If you don't have anything to offer besides railing against other people, then what is your "invitation" all about? What "improvement" do you propose besides talking shit about what other people believe? Where is the constructive element in your views?
