Quote:It's just a little bit different though, because if Islam called for the eradication of all non-Abrahemic religions, then there wouldn't be any, but there is.
How about you just say what Islamic doctrine is? Normally you are keen to judge Islam by it's doctrine rather than the actions of it's followers. Why is this suddenly reversed? It is not a little bit different, it is the same, except in this case the doctrine must be worse than the actions.
Quote:There's no Islamic doctrine that states non-Abrahemic subjects should be slaughtered en masse.
So, one by one then, in an orderly fashion? Is this how the game works - I suggest possible doctrines, and you reject them if they don't match Islam, then fall silent when I get it right?
Quote:Unless you've got one in mind, in which case you should stop beating around the bush and just post it.
How about you stop beating around the bush. I have none in mind. I'm just asking what the Islamic doctrine is.
Quote:However, paganism was decreed to be wiped out of the Arabian peninsula, but there was no mass slaughter, the Pagan Arabs recognised the truth of Islam anyway, and it never had to result to that.
So the pagans converted freely and willingly, avoiding the need for any blood to be spilled? The doctrine called for slaughter, but the people avoided it?
Quote:Part of us being deceptive and such. Why do you bother even asking us, if you know we're just so deceptive?
Because your silence says far more than what you can bring yourself to admit.
Quote:You've proven time and time again, you're not interested in answers freediver
Wrong Abu. Nothing of the sort has been proved. You are the only one here who is not interested in straight answers.
Quote:So please spare us this rot, about how hard it is for you to get a straight answer.
Or, you could just give me a straight answer, then I wouldn't have to resort to accusing you of not giving a straight answer.
Quote:We're just not inclined to engage you in the kind of loaded discussions you want
But you are that way inclined. I must concede you did a good job of ignoring this thorny issue for a long time. But now you have dived into the discussion. Though you still can't bring yourself to give an honest answer about Islamic doctrine.
Quote:where you suggest something, and then go on to paint every answer or response as a lie, deflection, omission of truth etc
Abu, what else do you expect? This whole thread is based around a single, simple question. A question that has been avoided since this board started. A question that still hasn't been answered.
Quote:There's no wall of silence. Except in your anti-Islamic dreams.
So why are you unable to answer the question? Why you you post so much, yet say so little? If it is not a wall of silence, what is it? A wall of deflection? A mirror?
