You must be very bored on this Thursday night to argue over semantics. No. From the believers perspective, they know it. From your perspective, they believe it. |

Here is a good article distinguishing what Islam said about embryonic development and what the Greeks actually said:

As for the atheist dogma that you can not disprove a negative....

Thanks for confirming that you do not feel that I should be free to me drawing a caricature of your prophet. I don't give a rats ass why you feel this way, the fact that you feel this way is proof positive that I cannot dismiss your belief in Islam, as been previously suggested, because you won't let me dismiss it. You insist that I follow your rules that are derived from your religion. As for whether people who object through violence is in accordance with Islam, you have your interpretation, other believers have theirs. There's enough people who claim to be true believers of Islam who do object through violence that this is at least a point of contention, and not as clear cut as you claim. |

Never said you couldn't draw caricatures. Re-read. Caricature away to your hearts content. But ask yourself this - does it make you feel good to hurt 1.6 billion people? Why denigrate their beloved prophet when they are not denigrating yours? And...White supremacists express hatred for other racial groups. Doesn't mean all whites are supremacists, does it? A German singlehandedly led a killing spree on 6 mil Jews, but doesn't mean all Germans want to kill Jews. Don't get trapped into slippery slope thinking. |

How I feel about drawing caricatures of Mohammad is not the issue. The issue is that I should be free to do it, without fear of violence. And I should be able to do this anywhere, even in a majority Muslim country. The fact is, I can't. When the Charlie Hebdo attack occurred, none of the major news outlets in the US reprinted the cartoons in question. So even in the US, we are fearful of how Islamic religious beliefs may be applied to us non-believers, to the point that the news media censors themselves. I never called all Muslims terrorists or extremist/fundamentalists. Re-read. The point is, whether Islam prescribes violence against non-believers as a mater of its core teaching is up to interpretation and debate. Whether white skin color makes that race superior, is not. There is sizable population of the Muslim population on both sides of the camp. There fore, it's not possible for one camp to just claim to be the right interpretation and discount the other side as "not acting in accordance with Islam", such as you've done. Well, you can do it, but I can point out that you are claiming from a position of bias. |

No living T-Rex? How the heck do you know? Do we have a human simultaneously monitoring every single spot on Earth? If not, he is just making an assumption. I agree it is highly improbable that there is a living T-Rex, but an absolute proof that there isn't? No Muslims in the US senate? How doe she know? Just as there may be closet Atheists in the senate, there can be closet Muslims in the senate. He doesn't know, and he is just making an assumption. He then drags out the self-contradictory examples as a red herring. I do agree, however, that you can prove a negative, so this is indeed often mis-used by atheists. Just that the examples given by Craig sucks. The underlying issue of proving a negative, is actually one of burden of proof. The theists claim God exists, and when they hear that an atheist challenge that claim, respond with "prove that God doesn't exist". The response of an atheist shouldn't be "you can't prove a negative", but rather respond with "the burden of proof rests with the person making the claim, not for others to prove otherwise." |

No, but what you essentially want me to contend is that violent opposition of caricatures is condoned by Islam. Whether white skin is superior is most certainly subject to interpretation and debate, else there would be no white supremacist groups in existence. It is subject to debate and interpretation by those who believe it. The same holds true for Muslim extremists. Read this by Pew and tell me if even the majority of Muslims support violent extremism: http://www.pewglobal.org/2013/09/10/muslim-publics-share-concerns-about-extremist-groups/ As for your demand to do as you please with no regard to who it hurts, I ask you - WHY? Does it make the world more peaceful? Why is your conscience unaffected by the deep hurt of over a billion people? Should anyone be permitted to publish in Vatican city a caricature of Mary or Jesus? How about a mockery of the virgin Mary's "immaculate conception" ? No practicing Muslim would publish such a thing. And the basis is not of censorship but rather deep respect. |

The problem with the Quranic version is that there's no egg. In common with many belief systems of the time, the Quran has all life originating with the male, while the female is more or less an incubator. |

| A reading on the face of the Quranic text, before heavy "interpretation", says that all of life is determined by the male. There's no egg on Quran. So sex, too, would necessarily be determined by the male. |
