Moderate Muslim becoming boringly predictable

Moderate Muslim, you are boringly predictable. Is the Muslim Manual of Debate & Propaganda Techniques a Cliff Notes sized publication? Because it seems to limit you to about four tactics, if that. Evade, obfuscate, villify, cry for censorship.

You're performing all four.

You have publicly made a fool of yourself and exposed yourself as a liar by repeatedly proclaiming that you are willing to discuss these matters with us, but to date you have avoided answering any of the challenges presented. You have evaded my challenge about what the Muslims are doing in Detroit, you have evaded my post challenging you to address the problem of CAIR, you have evaded my challenge about whether you find it "disgusting" that Mohammed raped children and women (which was proven by historical fact).

You faithfully tried to obfuscate the issue by referring to Biblical passages of which you have no understanding, and by injecting revisionist history about the so-called "Palestinians" and the founding of Israel.

Next you have been trying to villify those of us who speak the truth by calling us the "Legion of Doom" and other silly names. How typical. By the way, the Legion of Doom was a supervillain organization in the Superfriends cartoon in the 70's, of which I am a big fan, so I actually giggle at the "Legion of Doom" designation.

Finally, you are whining in an attempt at censorship by trying to instigate a "jihad" against me, Susan, Dhimmi No More, Jalahdi, and Plato. Just as Michel whined to the moderators to "silence" us. This is a classic tactic from the Muslim Manual of Debate. When cornered and forced to face the truth, appeal to authority to silence the opponent.

Tough luck, Radical Muslim. The truth will come out no matter how much that offends you. Learn to live with it.
