You're still a bit of an apologist for the ills of the Muslim world. Tom Send a noteboard - 12/01/2015 11:27:18 PM

You talk about the risk of conflating "the Muslim world" and "the Arab world" - why? Because Pakistan is such a beacon of freedom and tolerance? Because Iran has such a great record on human rights? Because Nigeria doesn't have a problem with violent militants? Because Somalia is a great example of what a Muslim state should look like? Because Turkey is headed in the right direction? I respect most of your positions but you seek to make distinctions that I certainly don't see.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

I don't think so. I see them clear enough, I just see the other factors too. Legolas - 13/01/2015 06:55:49 PM 521 Views

Those 19 points do look fairly reasonable, agreed. Legolas - 13/01/2015 07:08:13 PM 584 Views
Arguendo, if they raise a valid point shouldn't it be addressed? Tom - 14/01/2015 02:59:28 PM 552 Views
