Whoa. Paranoid much? I am Muslim but when I was curious about Christianity, I did BOTH, read on my own but also met with knowledgeable priests to ask questions. And this is why I suggested that pp seek more knowledge from those who are more knowledgeable than her.

I never once thought it might get her to convert. PP is beyond rehabilitation. :) Islam likely may not want her.  Islam is not begging for converts, if you didn't know.[/quote]
We know. Some ardent DCUM poster (might that be you?) even say that Islam in the U.S. grows more by conversion than by immigration, but then become weirdly defensive when asked for actual data.  Why is that?

As a Muslim, if I can meet with priests, she can meet with a scholar or imam. She has over a hundred posts on Islam, asking questions, yet refuses to ask those who she knows can answer her questions better than Muslims on DCUM. I have provided a mosque location, an imams name, the class name. This means Jeff was right. Muslima was right. And I was right. PP came here to DCUM with an agenda. She isn't interested in answers to her questions. They were a guise. She feigned interest in Islam to present it on DCUM as a barbaric, vile, oppressive religion. 50 pages of hate filled speech. Shameful. Personally, I thought Jeff should delete the threads but now I think anyone who reads it may find some information helpful. I will also refer this thread and others to CAIR to possibly use in media since they now serve as examples of blogs being used as hate propoganda.[/quote]
I don't post to ask questions, and I didn't start any of the Islam-related threads.  You did. I ask questions to poke holes in the platitudes and nonsensical arguments you post.  Judging from the reception, these holes were quite wide.  Feigned interest? I think I was always quite open about my stance on Islam.  I didn't ask you to educate me or enlighten me.  You confuse questions with challenges.   Islam is like any other religion.  They all have barbaric, vile and oppressive sides.  Islam is not an exception.  As for propaganda, I think the person who starts dozens of Islam-related threads a week (which you did at some point) fits the propaganda label a lot better than someone who successfully challenges them.

What is sad that every attempt to clarify is met with accusations of proselytizing. We Muslims who love our faith are expected to either remain silent in the face of such terribly ugly accusations, otherwise we are accused of either being brainwashed or proselytizing.

Given the number of pp's posts and her bank of knowledge (albeit with gaps or holes because she refuses to learn Quranic Arabic), it is clear she works for an anti-Islam group. There are a few such groups, some of them are actually international. No one else studies a religion this much solely out of hate. [/quote]
If you think my knowledge has holes in it because I don't know Quranic Arabic, then the same applies to the majority of Muslims who know zero Quranic Arabic.  Go pick on them.  Your religion is easy to learn.  You are just uncomfortable with someone educated AND non-Muslim challenging you.  You aren't used to that. I know. And sorry to disappoint you, but I actually get my pay from somewhere else. And yeah, I have to say when someone continues saying things like "Islam eliminated slavery", "Islam gave women equal rights"  - in the face of obvious evidence to the contrary -  the term "brainwashing" does come to mind.  Because no one who's non-Muslim and reads the same thing will come to the same conclusion.

Don't get angry. It's not personal.[/quote]
