Aggie, one cannot argue with the arbitrary!

I could agree with you more, if I wasn't aware that concerning the possibility of any meaningful dialog with a Muslim, it is a waste of time. You are trying to persuade based on the correctness and TRUTH of your arguments. Unfortunately the notion of truth is alien to these guys. They do not even bother to be consistent in their lies. For them "truth" is something relative, which is constantly changing according to their current needs, as they pervertedly perceive them. If "needed", they will even add or subtract from their "holy" Koran.

By definition, a really true Arab/Muslim is someone who is not bothered by any solid proof or evidence presented to him. His instantly prepared data are always more valid. An old adage says "one cannot argue with the arbitrary". And "Arbitrary" is every good Muslim's middle name.
