[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where does "Christian-evangelical-crusader-Islamophobe" fell into the micro aggression categories?[/quote]

It was an emotional reaction to the hostility on these threads toward Islam for which I have apologized already. Muslims have yet to receive any apology for the Islam bashing on DCUM, however.[/quote]
You've posted many, many insults and only one apology.  It's OK to doubt its sincerity. No one expressed hostility to you PERSONALLY yet you went to great lengths to invent personal insults for posters who were less than impressed with your faith. One can be forgiven for not believing the current, apologetic, peaceful you.[/quote]

You (and others) insulted my faith and the faith of 1.6 billion people by
- saying we are all out to convert folks
- saying our faith treats women like children
- saying women of our faith are oppressed due to inequality
- accusing the only two muslim women of lying and misleading people
- saying our prophet was a pedophile
- asking Muslima to post a pic of herself w/o her veil to garner sympathy
The list goes on and on...its not easy to remain polite when the agenda seems to be to vilify Islam. And that makes it deeply personal because I love my faith. Still, you need not accept my apology and you may find whatever justification to continue with the insults. I will ignore.[/quote]

Not the PP you're talking to, but after 50+ pages, this is all you have? Mohamed was called pedophile once about a month ago. Another bad actor claimed, maybe two weeks ago, that Muslima posted a pic of herself in a veil in order to get sympathy.

But for the rest, [b]you are confusing "vilifying Islam" with not agreeing with you[/b] that, for example, equality for women can involve legal inequality in divorce, inheritance et cetera. Also with not agreeing with you on other issues.

Can we point out that you feel free to denounce the Trinity in multiple posts and nobody has ever accused you of vilifying Christianity. They had no problem with you denouncing the a trinity. But they did question your motives for repeatedly writing that "Muslims believe in Jesus too" as if it were the same Jesus and the same message. Implying that Christians share your view that Jesus was a Muslim and supported the Islamic system is quite the micro/macro aggression. That aggression from you is why, I'm guessing, your motives got questioned.

Signed, the poster you called a bad cook with a husband who is about to divorce her and with a druggie son[/quote]

I think there is more than one Muslim PP.  One of them stated what her view was of the trinity but added she didn't know Christianity well.  Two other PPs came in with a descriptive explanation because this PP seemed to be asking for an explanation of the trinity rather than just seeking to denounce it.  This PP didn't sound like the Muslim PP who was exercised over people not accepting her explanations of voting rights and oath taking because the latter PP has never shown any inclination to admit knowledge gaps.

A non-Muslim PP looked up the verse in question on the voting issue, said the Arabic in that verse did not support as PP contended that it was directed at women as well as men but actually found much stronger evidence elsewhere in the sura that it was directed at women as well as men.  Strangely, Muslim PP did not thank non-Muslim PP for laying the argument to rest.

This Muslim PP may or not be the same PP who misconstrued information on demographics of Muslims in the US and resorted to name calling of other PPs.  It may well be the same PP who asserted women have equity in Islam without qualifying it to her view of equality or who said Muslims believe in Jesus as well without qualifying it.  On the latter, I am inclined to be very forgiving--Muslims do believe in Jesus, but as a prophet, not as God the Son and someone not very versed in Christianity may not realize Christians would view that as a crucial difference to point out.
