Tell me again…

Yes, because a “melee” is on par with burning down embassies and threatening holocausts.

Douche.

No one has said that they ARE unique. Nice straw man of your own.

You have pointed out ONE act of “violence” attributed to Christians attacking those slandering their faith. No one is dead either. There are always people doing things in the name of their religion, murdering their kids because “God told ‘em to” or protesting funerals (Westboro “Baptist” Church). But they are few and far between. They are usually shunned and not growing in popularity. You’d be hard-pressed to start a website that tracks only Christian acts of violence or terrorism, or even Jewish, or even Hindu.

In comparison, Muslims are slaughtering people by the thousands in the name of their religion. They are openly threatening those who slander their ‘prophet’ with death. I do believe it is obvious which religion at this point is acting with more hostility towards the world.

But if it makes you feel better to know that somewhere in the world, there are Christofascists causing “melees” as opposed to a growing movement of radical islamists who want to force sharia law and create a one-world caliphate…

“To whom, specifically, have I attributed the argument that Muslims are unique in the willingness to commit religiously-inspired violence?”

Here you go Meaty:

Your first post, “Tell me again that it’s only Muslims who resort to violence over matters of religion…”

Your response to Kender “The simple fact remains that Muslims are not unique in the willingness to commit religiously-inspired violence.”

So, you made that argument to your general readership, and then to Kender.

“Religions do not act. People do.”

Are you a gun rights advocate now also because that also sounds like “Gun’s Don’t Kill People, People Kill People’.

Meaty,

You are making an argument that Muslims are not unique in their love of violence. In order to do that, you must believe that someone, somewhere has that belief or stated that argument. Kender points out that the level and frequency is not the same as with Islam. You restate again the “they’re not unique” statement, something Kender did not argue.

You then jump up and down screaming “Strawman” in some attempt to point out that someone else is treading on territory you believe you own (that is the mass production of scarecrows) and set up another one yourself, against some phantom menace that is claiming that Muslim’s are somehow unique.

And here is how it is a strawman. Because many point out that radical islam, which appears to have growing support in Muslim communties, you feel the need to argue against such a ‘religiously bigoted’ stance. But since there is overwhelming evidence that Islam is currently living out a bloodthirsty phase, you have to change the argument (misrepresent) that us religious bigots are saying that Muslim’s are the only ones capable of such heinous violence. I don’t have to give you a person to attribute the ‘unique’ argument to, you have taken the counterpoint to an argument no one is making….

“I said nothing about anyone’s “love of violence”. The discussion is about the use of violence.”

True. You did not use the word “love” In this case I used the word love to imply that they must love it as that seems to be their first reaction to some slight.

“Why? Do all arguments exist only because someone else holds some belief or has made some other argument?”

Usually an argument is not in a vacuum. But when you state in your post titled “TELL ME AGAIN”, someone must have told you this argument before. Or are you lying in your post.. using Meaty definition of lying.

“Kender mentioned neither level nor frequency.”

Um. Kender pointed out the level foshizzle. He mentioned burning EMBASSIES and HOLOCAUSTS. Sounds like the level has been addressed, and the fact that he pointed out just TWO examples addresses the frequency in a small way.

“Laughable. You know nothing of my beliefs, Duncan. You know only your own caricature of my beliefs.”

You are right on that one Meaty, I have no clue about your beliefs… other than what I can interpolate from your posts. And as well as know, caricatures have some root in reality…

“The “phantom menace” is your own invention, Duncan. I certainly made no mention of such.”

Well, someone told you that Muslim’s were unique (reference title of your post again). I don’t know that person or persons.. and you won’t reveal your source.. so I guess they’re some sort of phantom.. perhaps just the voices in your head?

“I pointed out that Muslims are not unique in this regard. If you wish to view that as an personal attack on your own bigoted stance, that is your privilege.”

Yes, you did point out the Muslim’s are not the only people on this planet able to inflict harm and violence. Good job. Tough stance I’ll tell ya since there probably are not very many sane people who would disagree with it.

But as far as my “bigoted” stance, I do not take that as a personal attack, especially coming from you, even though you were the one implying that I was assisting “the spread of religious bigotry” in some form or fashion…

Sorry Kender, I forgot we were talking to meaty here.

I think the reason that meaty is becoming so easy to refute and shred is because he picks outrageous and hard (to impossible) positions to defend. He attacks hyperbole and paraphrase and that makes him seem all the more like the outrageous moonbats over at Kos and DU. Sad.

and meaty is engaging in his favorite past time…...refusing to answer questions.

So meaty, who said that muslims were the only ones to engage in violence?

You implied it was said, so who said it?

damn dude…..meaty must psychically be feeling like he’s been, well, crucified this last week…..and it aint even easter.
