[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is all this gibberish? You cite Christians who are carefully using words like "some" and "many" to refer to the beliefs of other Christians. Your quotes show Catholics who are being careful to draw distinctions between themselves and fundamentalists. Your quotes show people saying "I think..." (but you didn't bold that, did you). The one person making a generalization with "99%" is probably correct that 99% think this, at least in 2014--it's on the level of saying 99% of Muslims think Mohammed is God's messenger. The only people in your many quotes who are making generalizations along the lines of "all Christians believe this or that" are clearly atheists or non Christians trying to argue the religion is bad. As just one example, you just quoted 9/29/2014 @11:54, but that's clearly an atheist.

I don't understand why you bothered spending hours on this, because none of this proves your point about Muslima being held to a different standard re speaking for all other Muslims. Your excerpts actually refute your point.

On the other hand, there's a Muslim poster here who cuts to the chase with "those Shias and Sufis are not Muslims." Yet both OP and Muslima prefer to fight stale battles with other posters instead of confronting this person. Why?[/quote]

I agree with PP.  You are very quick to go after the non-Muslim posters with your corrections of "fact" (usually your opinion), but you do not go after the Muslim posters who utter non-Islamic statements like "Shi'ites are not Muslims" or "Sufis can't be trusted for their views on Islam."

The Christian posters, on the other hand, are quick to go after Christian posters who spout gibberish like Catholics aren't Christians.  Credibility is gained by calling out nonsense whenever it occurs, regardless of whether the statement is made by a co-religionist or someone of another faith.  We have been doing this repeatedly with you, just as we would for anyone from whatever religion, but you persist in confounding our disagreement with your nonsensical posts with Islamaphobia.
