Wretchard,

I’m all for honest conciliation, when it’s called for and may be effective. However, the history of Islam’s relationship with the unbelievers is overwhelmingly one of brutality, murder, spoliation, and parasitism. I’m not saying that there have been no incidents of kafirs committing acts of brutality against Muslims. I’m sure it’s happened, but in the big picture, methinks it is very insignificant.

That is why the best thing that any kafir can do, right now, is to get that book by Ali Sina, “Understanding Muhammad: A Psychobiography” Also, any book written by Robert Spencer, Bat Ye’or, and Andrew Bostom will further inform. I find that the most compelling stories and arguments against Islam come from former Muslims themselves.

Nope. I learned a long time ago that it serves no useful purpose going into the confessional and making up sins just for something to tell the priest about, thinking it would make him think I was not guilty of pride. The truth will do just fine. Islam is a savage and barbaric cult that only takes conciliation as weakness on our part. And that’s a very dangerous place to be with dangerous dogs that sense you are afraid of them.
