P. Ami, I’ll let your rambling and incoherent ad hominem attack on me speak for itself.
I reiterate one of my previous points to you — familiarize yourself with a subject before your wax on so. That would be a good start.
One of my thrusts above has to do with Dr. Mansur’s complete omission of the fact that Islam is not solely defined by the Koran, but is based on a large body of writings which constitute Islamic laws, social customs, and history based on the life of Muhammad. The fact that he omits this critical data calls his honesty into question. He deftly attempts to depict the actions of violent Jihadis as a fundamental misinterpretation of the Koran – yet the facts don’t bear this argument out. The Koran is NOT the sole basis for Islam, nor are the actions of the Jihadis in any way a misinterpretation. Jihadis scrupulously base their actions as much on passages from the Koran as they do on the the behavior and actions of their so-called “prophet” Muhammad. That is the other body of work I refer to above as the Haditha and Suras.
So why does Dr. Mansur distort this fact? Either he doesn’t know anything about Islam, or he is deliberately fashioning his commentaries for an unknowing audience, one consisting of credulous non-Muslims eager (as P. Ami clearly is) to neither look to hard or think too much. What use is hearing comforting but meaninless little arguments about the niceness of Muslims. P. Ami — you haven’t a clue.
