Yeah, I'm quite comfortable calling people who engage in wanton acts of murder, torture and rapine human scum.  You, for some reason, are not.  But you're quite comfortable comparing Americans to Nazis and the Taliban.  An rather illogical position, but that's you.

Quote:Can you identify one statement in of my posts which purports to “refute the excesses of Islam”?  The points I "proved" for you don't seem to actually be in my posts. 

Oh, that's not possible, because you never address it at all.  Well, except to object to Isis scum being called scum.

Quote:You can’t refer to the excesses OF ISLAM in one breath, and then in the next deny you refer to "Islam as a whole." 

I most certainly can, just as I mention the excesses of Christianity during the slave trade and how it couldn't have existed if more Christians acted, well, like Christians, and demanded it stop.  When your religion is being used to justify horrific acts then it is the responsibility of the adherents of that religion to stand up and say, no!  There are certainly Muslims that do this, but clearly in nothing close to the numbers needed to effect actual change.  Or, you know, things would actually change.

Quote:Why were you asking for a list of Muslim-majority countries who don't oppress women if "criticism of Islam as a whole" was not your goal? 

I would think that's rather self evident.  You take issue with my criticism of Islam and claim I am incorrect in my characterizations of how the religion is currently used, en masse, to denigrate and oppress women and homosexuals, to name only two categories.  I then asked you to prove me wrong by listing the majority Muslim countries in which that is not the case.  You provided two examples, both in Europe.  I then asked you to provide a list of Muslim majority countries in which women and homosexuals are oppressed and denigrated as a matter of routine.  You balked at this, and we all know why.  It's this type of intellectual cowardice that makes all your refutations on this subject patently absurd and imminently laughable.  You know you've been painted into a corner, hence your desperate attempts to consistently mischaracterize my position as bigoted towards all Muslims.  It's not working, it's not going to work, and your flailing attempts to deny it have passed the point of embarrassing.
