Yes, you are on trial

Moderate Muslim, you still don't get it. You wrote:

MM: "I already have adressed those instances stated above. Im not running from anyone."

You've addressed nothing. You've given us 4 examples of what you consider peaceful, tolerant, free Islamic countries, while I and others have proved you totally and utterly wrong. We're still waiting for an example from you that withstands scrutiny. Or did you think we were simply going to take your word for it?

MM: "Why does it seem like a trial, neither Islam nor myself are on trial?"

Because Islam is indeed on trial, as are all Muslims and Muslim apologists.

MM: "I do not have to explain myself to you, I do not have to defend the actions of foreign governments of purported Muslim countries or the actions of extremists."

You certainly do, if you intend on discussing this with us, and if you insist on making absurd claims about Islam being peaceful. If you don't like it, then why are you still here?

MM: "They have no relation towards me but that they falsely claim to follow the same religion."

They are related to you through your common link - Islam. All you've done since you popped in here is spread the same lies and propaganda that we see coming out of Islam on a daily basis. Totally typical.
