[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]PS, I'm not either of the people having a conversation about Islam and women's rights, either. Maybe one of these is the Convertitus Ordinarius poster and there are really only two others besides me.

But the point is, you're not having a head-to-head with one evil-minded, obsessive person here.

Except that by now I figure you've checked out my whole posting history. It's creepy.[/quote]

Two replies, but you didn't answer the question. If you are not here to score debating points, what is your interest in setting such parameters on the topic of discussion? I can frame questions about any religion in such a narrow manner as cause discomfort for mainstream believers of that religion. Why are you doing that for Islam?

Also, you can drop your conspiracy theory that I have the slightest interest in your posting history. You posted a response here. That response was entirely geared toward framing the topic in a manner that would elicit a specific answer. Everyone here already knew the answer to that specific question. Why don't you want to discuss the significance of that answer? The answer itself is not very enlightening.

Discussing Islam shouldn't be threatening and intimidating. Yet here you are, repeatedly demanding that I prove my probity and questioning my motives. Now you write above that I shouldn't even ask certain questions about Islam because you claim "everybody here already knew the answer" but apparently nobody wants to say what the answer is, and apparently that should be OK.  Do you ask people in the Beauty forum why they're recommending certain eyeliners and not others?  Do you ask people in the parenting forums to prove they have kids before they ask about strollers or Sidwell?

So my questions for you are these. Do you know you're effectively shutting down conversation about Islam? And, if so, why are you doing this?

No, I have no intention of outing myself by telling everyone where I've lived or what my experience has been. I will say that I'm *not* the OP of this thread on the more clear-cut issue of disciplining your wife, and I barely participated in the negative posts in that part of the discussion. Nor am I the poster discussing divorce and flood pants in the posts right above this one. Yet you've singled me out for intimidation about my motives and even my right to ask certain questions. Additionally, Muslim Woman is a bully (besides being so random and off-topic that it's not worth addressing her points). I definitely feel intimidated by both of you, after simply trying to cut through some BS on Delaware and medieval kings to get a clear answer. I'd venture to guess that others reading this thread are thinking twice about asking questions about Islam that might bring down your scorn.[/quote]

I am sorry but i have not singled you out, since everyone's screen name is anonymous, I do not know who I am talking to and yes I actually thought it was one person responding  but  that's besides the point. I am seriously not trying to shut down a discussion about Islam. i said previously that I am all for intelligent discussions, however when you keep refuting the same thing over and over and just refuse to accept what is evident, it is a moot point to keep re-hassing the same thing over and over and that is why I chose to take myself out of the discussion.
