As I said, I was just pointing out that experiences do not refute any argument.
Am I right to say that a lot of mental disorders have been learnt about through
observation over a very long period of time and experience? And that treatments (not medicinal ones) have come about due to these observations and these experiences rather than due to anything else? So observation and experience are useful at times right?
What makes these observations and experiences any less valid than those they use to treat mental patients?
All the ex-Muslims here did quit Islam when they could see/were shown that Islam/quran is....., did they not? What would you say about those who deny even after knowing?
I would say that the reaction of muslims who still continue to defend islam even after being shown the truth is not down to taqqiya, not for most of them though, with some, yeah of course. You get manipulative liars in all shapes and sizes. For the rest though, they do not want to believe, they block you out by seeing you as the liar or they search for a scholar who has found a twisted way to refute the arguement you are using, so that they have something to help them ignore you.
It's not malicious lying to you, it's sad and pitiful lying to themselves.
Was "Islam promotes terrorism" an issue in this thread? If it was, I wonder why it is being ignored completely. If it was not, my bad.
I'm not sure, I haven't read the whole thread.
