ADNAN Yeah, and I have little patience with folks like you. I am aware of many criticism of Islam and most of them were done better than anything you posted. You write something -- even if what you say is true -- and then you don't back it up with any argumentation or documentation. For example you wrote: "I am a women. No woman who respect herself, can respect Islam ...." But I know many women who respect and converted to Islam, many of them ex-Christians and most of them were born in the U.S. Do you mean that all these women do not respect themselves and that is why they respect Islam? Or you probably meant that women who sees Islam the way you do can not respect Islam, in this case this is only your opinion -- not the opinion of all women -- and your opinion does not prove anything unless it is backed by argumentation and documentation, as the opinion of those women who respect and converted to Islam is not a proof that Islam treats women well. You repeated same thing in all your posts: "Islam is a pack of lies, it treats women horribly, slavery is allowed, no Muslim objected to fatwa against Rushdie etc., etc.,." Nothing you said -- even if true -- was backed by argumentation or documentation. As I pointed out that 44 out of 45 countries in Islamic conference of March 1989, rejected Khomenie's fatwa, so your statement was factually false, but you ignored what I said and repeated the same thing in the next post without even commenting on my response. I asked you to debate the slavery issue on SRI and posted some of their responses regarding slavery but you ignored their arguments and repeated the same thing which you wrote earlier without dealing with the issues. I am not saying that their response necessarily answers the slavery issue, but I am observing that you did not deal with their argument and ignored them. Similarly, you called my statement that there is no evidence from earlier historians to back up the claim for Alexandria's library, a Muslim lie, and repeated what you wrote earlier without providing any evidence. All of this proves that you really do not know about the subject and can not deal with particular arguments and details, so you have to repeat the same thing which you already know. Second, as I said, it shows that you are pretty set in your views and have no intention of changing your opinion about something which might be factually incorrect, as was the case with Alexandria's library.
