Robo, another thing that offends muslims is the idea that Islam is an historically backward religion because it is more recent than christianity, itself a comparatively new religion.

Jim, it goes without saying that all events are part of the continuum of history, but to bring up the iraq body count for the millionth time will not advance this debate one iota.
It is a red herring to avoid an awkward argument.

I am not far right and I am no islamophobe.
Name calling is just a personal attack and does nothing to advance the debate either.
Try addressing my argument instead.
