[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]How did PP get us from a letter signed by over 100 Muslims a year ago denouncing ISIS and its interpretations of Islam to a random selection of hadith on adultery?

I am guessing PP is the South Asian insisting Islam as pronounced by ISIS is the same as mainstream Islam and, seeing a very clear denunciation of ISIS by mainstream clerics, moves along to hadith from 1200 years ago which may or may not be of questionable origin.[/quote]

I am reluctant to defend that poster who I believe to be very unfair toward Muslims, but I believe the discussion about Islam's treatment of woman is fairly long-running in this thread and not brought up to distract from the denunciations. However, I think it is very telling that the poster appears to have relied on an Islamophobic site and then ended up with a distorted version of the facts. When people are hoodwinked like this, I always wonder if they will learn from the experience. Based on what I've seen, they almost ever do. They simply double down.
