I will answer you out of common courtesy despite your descent once more into 'Strawman' tactics.Here is what I actually stated:

"Originally Posted by kirklancaster - "Islamic Fundamentalist Imams, Muftis and Ayatollahs preach violence and hatred, Rabbis and Priests and Vicars do not."

And here is what you dishonestly twist my statement into:

"but what you are doing is implying that "most" Islamic preachers are hateful and - unfathomably - that there are ZERO Jewish or Christian preachers preaching anything negative."


Now let's analyse what you are attempting to do:

I specify Islamic Fundamentalist Imams, Muftis and Ayatollahs. You turn my clear STATEMENT into your IMPLICATION without any genuine reason.

You turn my "ISLAMIC FUNDAMENTALIST" in to your "MOST ISLAMIC PREACHERS" when that is CLEARLY NOT WHAT I WROTE.

In my opinion, most "Islamic preachers" are - like most Muslims - peace loving moderate people of faith. ISLAMIC FUNDAMENTALIST PREACHERS are not.

You are deliberately TWISTING what I actually wrote, but when I accused you of such a practice you write:

"Yes they are in print, they don't require any twisting, it is exactly what you said."

Well, clearly, it is NOT EXACTLY WHAT I SAID - IS IT?

So please stop with the deceitful Strawman tactics because it just ruins threads. We have some seriously intelligent and knowledgeable members on here who shy away once you employ such tactics and it is not fair,not conducive to intelligent debate, and impoverishes the forum.

And as for:

"for the second part, are you really asking me to back up / "prove" that there are Rabbis in Israel preaching hatred of Palestine, or that certain Bible-belt American preachers advocate violence against homosexuals? Are you trying to say that without proof, you think these claims are false? It's common knowledge, Kirk."

Yes Toy Soldier, I am asking you to provide evidence for what you claim. You make so many 'sweeping claims' in your posts - all without genuine grounds - that I would like you to corroborate these particular claims.
