I don't think anyone can be blamed for what you think other than you. If someone presents their view about Islam as being shared by all Islam, [b]I think an appropriate reply is "that may be your view, but certainly you agree many other professed Muslims believe differently...[/b]" But, when someone agrees that there is no "one" Islam, I think it is implied that they do not think their personal beliefs are shared by all Muslims.

Do you think the 2nd Muslim poster, who apparently started many of the Islam threads, agrees that her views may be unrepresentative? Because I haven't heard her speak to this. 
 
Do you think everybody here, plus the new posters, remembers that exchange between you and Muslima?

Maybe you need a sticky at the top: "None of the Muslim posters speaks for all of Islam."

Meanwhile, we've been respectfully (most of us) challenging them all along, like you just suggested above, yet you've accused us of having agendas. It's not our fault non-Muslima PP puts out 50 dubious posts an hour. Did you bother to look at the thread about the standing of the turbans' deen vs. PP's personal take on things?

(Also, did you really just argue that a thread title of "What Does Islam Say About Concubines?" shouldn't be taken at face value? Especially if it didn't come from Muslima?)
