[quote=Anonymous]Jeff, I'm the PP you're attacking today. I'm the soon-to-be-divorcee (and thanks for defending me on that one) Christian-evangelist (and thanks for defending everyone here on that one).

You are lumping multiple posters together and then stating that ALL of us are wrong to challenge Islam because of the actions of a few. I am not the poster who said Islam is brutal. I am not the poster who called Mohammed a pedophile or who is referring to pedophilia above. I am not the poster who told Muslima to go back to her own country. In fact, I regret that others did this. There, I apologized for those other posters.

My point is: using the bad behavior of a few to lump us all together as Islamophobes is intimidating and unfair.

BTW, I remember a thread where someone came on to accuse the Catholic Church of sponsoring whorehouses in the Middle Ages. You did not raise a single objection along the lines you're raising here, i.e. that it's not reasonable to talk about the Middle Ages, or to suggest that all Catholics run whorehouses. You're going to answer that you can't know what everybody is saying. My point is, yes, of course the attacks on Catholics are so frequent you can't stay on top of them all, and the result is that DCUM seems like open season on Catholics, Christians and Jews, while you charge in on every one of the much rarer threads on Islam.

I'm actually surprised you "can't believe we're wasting our time" about the immigrants point, or that you wonder why we're chasing down Muslima's initial statement that "Islam offers asylum to prisoners of war." The other PP and I care about facts, so shoot us. We both have an intellectual interest in Islam, so shoot us. Do you make similar challenges to posters who write about bird-watching, Sidwell Friends or whatever goes on in the Explicit forum? If you don't care about facts where Islam is concerned, then that's totally your prerogative. But do you really think it's fair to use the excuse that one different PP used the word "brutal" to try to impugn the rest of us? That's intimidating and almost sounds like you're trying to stop us from posting.[/quote]
