[quote=Anonymous]Jeff, I have seen your posts about anti-Catholicism. They are rare.

Let's be very clear. The discussion about concubines started on page 2 of the "tell me about Islam" thread when Muslima stated baldly that "Islam offers asylum to captives." We both know that's not true, either in scripture or in present-day practice in some areas controlled by Muslims.

Do you really think that patently untrue statement should be allowed to go unchallenged? Yes, the discussion has taken quite a few twists and turns in the last three threads, but we always come back to that issue, which was raised by Muslina herself.

Similarly, the OP of this very thread is misleading. It almost appears deliberately misleading. Do you really think the other PP (not me) should have left that unchallenged?

Do you think the claim about converts vs. immigrants should have gone unchallenged? It took maybe 10 surreal pages to nail that one down--do you think nobody should have bothered to challenge it?

Do think the effort to distort your own statement about racism should have gone unchallenged?

If you're OK with this site being a place where anti-Catholic bigots can run (almost) free and where the only people who get challenged and intimidated are the ones who question misleading statements, then I really have nothing more to say.

But could I suggest that Muslima and the other poster listen to you. I think we all want them to present their religion in a positive, but open and truthful, light. You're in a position to encourage then to do so, and that doesn't start by enabling their bad behavior, instead it starts by encouraging free debate.[/quote]
