Muslim Double-talking
Reader comment on item: Are Christians Infidels (Kafirs)?

Submitted by Moshe (Israel), Jul 9, 2006 at 03:36

-"It does no good, as Mohammed Fahmy tries, to dissimulate and pretend that the kafir does not mean what it plainly does. Fahmy's brand of apologetics is sadly all too common, affecting the understanding of such key concepts as warfare, women, and slavery."

Dan, you are absolutely correct! However, this type of apologetics and double talking is so much typical of all the Islamic narrative, that it seems unconceivable to see them changing and starting to talk with sincerity and integrity. I don't think they even know what the word "truth" means. In their mind "truth" is any lie which serves their current interests, as pervertedly evaluated by them. The notion of truth is so alien to them that I doubt that they understand at all what you are talking about.
