[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm fed up. Muslima and the other PP have put enough out there that DCUM readers can decide for themselves whether to trust these two as interpreters of Islam.

As readers decide whether Muslima and the other Muslim PPs are reliable sources on Islam, they can now bear in mind:

1. OP's very first post on this thread, where she claims that injunctions against selling your concubines into prostitution is somehow the same as an injunction against having your own concubines. Another PP had to come on and point out that prostitution and concubinage are not the same thing. (For simply making clarifications like this, that PP repeatedly gets called a christianevanagelicalwhatever by the Muslims and is accused of having an agenda by Jeff.)

2. All the cut-and-pastes from the New Testament. Not only is it impossible to read any support for polygamy into these passages, Christians actually use these very same quotes to support monogamy.

3. The attempt by the PP at 1:26, above, to mangle Jeff's post saying he "doesn't see" racism into saying he "does" see racism.

4. The many charges that anybody who provides alternative interpretations, alternatives that rooted in scholarly opinion no less, must be a christian-evangelical-whatever.

5. The nonsense about Islam growing faster by conversion than by immigration in the US.

So, readers, given these patent distortions of things you CAN verify for yourselves... would you trust these two to expound on something you know much less about--Islam?

Signed, angry Christian-evangelical-racist-Islamophobe who serves burnt food to her husband who is about to divorce her, who has an academically failing kid who is into drugs and porn, who is worried about the fat file the FBI maintains on her, and who is resisting conversion despite being overwhelmed by Muslim PP's stunning logic [/quote]

PS. To be very, very clear. Yes, these two are entitled to their own, personal interpretations of Islam. No, they are not entitled to claim that they represent all of Islam, that eminent scholars are wrong, that millions of Muslims are wrong.[/quote]
