[quote=Muslima][quote=Anonymous]Muslima, disagreeing with you is NOT the same as Islamophobia and racism. Most posters on that thread were very respectful, and certainly Mohammed got called a pedophile fewer times than you guys called Mary a 'porn queen" (direct quote).[/quote]

Are you the same poster who keeps repeating you guys did this/that. My posts are easily identifiable so when you say "Muslima" said xyz have the decency to back it up! For one I never called Mary a "porn queen", I actually never even talked about Mary if you should know. I believe that Mary is one of the only 4 perfect women that was created by God. Even the mother of Mohamed saw was not given that title so why would I have anything but respect and love for Mary? I think the other muslim poster started talking about Mary because she was upset about the pedophilia comments, I would think she doesn't believe in those things about Mary but was probably angry and frustrated, which is one reason why I recuse myself from a discussion when it starts being attacks after attacks, disrespectful and dishonest. As human beings it is very easy to go there, get down to the level of nastiness and fight back, to prevent that I stop answering when a discussion goes sterile!

You are apparently angry about several types of challenges you faced on that thread:

1. Requests for statistics to back up your claims about converts,
2. Clarifications to your simplified presentation of Islam (eg, your claim that Islam "offers captives asylum" neglected to mention the Quranically sanctioned rape of female captives),
3. Challenges to your personal interpretations of various Islamic rules (selective use of hadith and your position on sharia) coupled with the suggestion that you may be out of step with eminent scholars, and
4. Readers simply didn't find your explanations convincing, e.g. that various rules about women are for our own good.

These challenges DO NOT amount to "racist Islamophobia." People disagreeing with you or failing to find your explanations convincing is NOT "racist Islamophobia."

You were warned several times on that thread about your use of ad hominems, your repeated recourse to personal insults instead of answering hard questions. This thread is in the same vein: contentless, with lots of insults.[/quote]

I am not angry because of challenges faced on a thread, com' ON ! If you should know real life islamophobia is harder to survive than online rhetoric, you can just turn your computer off and move on. I have said it before and will repeat it. What is offensive is for someone to cut and paste random verses of the Quran totally ignoring the context the verses were revealed in, totally ignoring what the verses are referring to and blatantly using this to advance their own propaganda. Self-imposed ignorance is offensive! But being challenged by what Islam is or teaches? No, i don't have that challenge! And btw, my "self-interpretations" of Quran, no dear, I studied and read, studied and read for years with scholars who studied and read for decenies, whatever I present, when I present it as "Islam" you better believe it is not my personal interpretation, but when I say in my opinion, then yes you can take it as such! And one little note stop saying "readers did not find x, y, z", nobody made you speaker of the house~[/quote]
