Debating An Islamist

Reader comment on item: [Hamid Dabashi:] Columbia University's Hysterical Professor

Submitted by Report (United States), Dec 3, 2004 at 19:19

The Islamist without fail assuredly exhibits the telltale signs of dictionary manipulation, false accusation and deception. When debating an Islamist:

1 - Repeatedly bring the conversation back to the main topic

2 - Do not receive or allow personal insults

3 - Immediately refute and disagree with false accusations

4 - Expose exaggerations immediately when they occur

5 - Initiate hard direct questions and facts

Follow these 5 simple rules and you will be able to successfully discuss and win any topic with any Islamist.
