Why Apologists Muslims Live in Denial

Submitted by I. C. (United States), Feb 3, 2003 at 14:29

It is very hard to understand why apologist muslims live in denial. Through Quran, hadith, and Sunna, there is very little doubt that murders, asassinations, genocides, massacres looting and rapes of non muslims are pious and religious acts. Yet apologists keep repeating that Islam is peaceful and jihad is defensive.

Quran says you can have sex with captured women and apologists claim Islam does not allow hurting innocents. I ask Ms. Kate (1/28 post) if some one captures her daughter and have sex with her will it be considered a pious act? My conclusion is that muslims consider only non-muslims as innocent. All others can be robbed raped and killed and yet it will always be called defending Islam.
