Like Oedipus (and just as blind as he), you seem to want to kill the messenger. I’m not threatening anything or anyone. It just so happens that I know enough history (studied professionally under many Ph.Ds, so please don’t come at me with some charge of autodidacticism), to understand what happens when one side in a conflict makes a strategic mistake regarding its capabilities. As I mentioned, you have the example of the South in the American Civil War. You also have the Axis powers in WWII. It’d be interesting to hear how you think the conflict between the West and Islam would differ. Is the West going to “go gently into that good night”? Will Islam come to its senses? Will the conflict continue at low intensity for the next hundred years until demographic trends favoring Islam finally enable them to vote in sharia law globally? Just what, besides half-baked philosophical musings and weak parroting of Salim Mansur, do you have to add to the debate and analysis?
Go refresh yourself on Kant who, for all intelligent people, settled the matter once and for all regarding what science can achieve in the face of religious quesitons.
I guess Hegel would be surprised to find this out. Nietzsche also had a thing or two to say about Kant’s real motives in his analysis of the science/religion dichotomy. You seem not to understand the difference between the physical sciences and philology, which is the science I’ve been citing in relation to the idea that the Koran is fiction. My scientific contention has been that philology can prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that the Koran is not what it claims to be and therefore Hirsi Ali is absolutely correct and Muslims do not have a philological leg to stand on in claiming otherwise, regardless of how this makes them feel.
However, coming from you and allied to your genocidal threats, it comes across as plain bigotry.
Just as you asked how I knew you weren’t writing from a monastery, how do you know I’m not an apostate Muslim woman from Somalia?
Your not liking what I have to say doesn’t make it any less true. Reality bites sometimes. Just keep your head in the sand, though. I’m sure that’ll work out for you.
