I’m sorry, how many Muslim countries have you been to and experienced? How many Muslims do you follow on social media, and in how many languages? How many sermons have you attended and how many halaqas?

Just because my facts don’t match your bigoted stereotypes doesn’t mean I’m wrong. Who’s really in denial of reality here?

You're a Muslim. I'm not. We have different perspectives.

I’m not Jewish either but it doesn’t mean I can spout such hateful claims, or argue with actual people in the religion that they support violence and oppression. You’re completely missing the point; I’m trying to correct you from your hurtful overgeneralizing prejudices and you’re pretending this is a matter of perspective.

I give up. I’ll do what the Quran says when ignorant people try to attack you, and say “Peace.”

I haven't attacked you at all. You've denied basic reality about the prevalence of fundamentalism in the Muslim world. Shit, you tried to say that the only reason that there's protests about a Quran burning is because of the fucking war in Iraq. Ridiculous.

Read again what I said more carefully next time. That’s not what I said and you’re strawmanning me.

Then if you didn't disagree with me that there's a high prevalence of fundamentalism in the Islamic world and that non Muslims face rampant discrimination in Muslim countries, I'm not sure what your point even was.
