Question is again for the psychologists to answer

Dear Dr Pipes, M Tovey makes a theological argument based on the Torah and poses a challenge for Islam. Little does Mr Tovey realize that Islam is a foolproof airtight system that Mr Tovey cannot penetrate. Muslims have an airtight defense against Bible-based theological arguments: The Bibles are corrupted words of God. End of story.

Now what do you except crying in frustration?
Heads they win. And, tails they win too.

So, I suggest that Islam is not a question for theologists. It is a question for the psychologists: what sort of mental processes make a billion people believe in Islam so deeply (that they kill others for Islam routinely) despite its so many deficiencies.

Any academic department wants to take this research topic? I doubt it. They will rather write policy papers on diversity and tell me that I am not a human but a brown-human.
