But all the talk about suicide bombers is just ludicrous. As I said, I have not head of any cases of suicide bombers doorknocking looking for a victim. Even in Israel, perhaps the most likely place where that might happen, I have not heard of it occurring. Not have I head of any case of a suicide bombing occurring in retribution for somebody refusing to convert to Islam. |
Seeing it has you wrapped around the axle so tightly, I'll just formally concede that no, I'm not aware of suicide bombers going door to door. Afterall, even if they did, they'd only make it to one house unless their bomb malfunctioned.
Now will you admit that Christians blowing up bus stops, office buildings, air planes, pizza parlors, weddings, etc is not a significant problem in the world?
Maybe you could even admit that Muslims who do just that are a significant problem?
There, you can no longer pretend to be dense. My point that there is no proportion between the problems caused by today's Muslims and those caused by today's Christians stands.
And your last point about retribution for not converting to Islam is silly in light of the four examples I presented for you in the other thread, not to mention things like the gunpoint conversions by the four journalists. You can't exist in an information vacuum and think you'll be taken seriously here.
