"I Know You Are, But What Am I?": The Muslim Response to Everything

Infidel Mojo wrote a post! He'll be writing a bit more often from now on. Here's a sample:

Those dang Christians (and Buddhists and Hindus and whoever else is available at the moment) are at it again, noting those recurrent themes that emerge again and again from Islam – repression, lies, violence. And their allies on the Left and at publications like "Time Magazine" have rallied to their support. Specifically, with the Pope’s visit to Turkey, it is imperative to focus not on the history and contemporary realities of both faiths, Christianity and Islam, but to direct criticism of Catholicism, the West, and Christianity exclusively. “A Catholic nun was shot today in Somalia.” “Yes, but a thousand years ago Christians killed 1000 Muslims!” “And what were Muslims doing? And what are Muslims doing now?” “Shut up Infidel!” The simple truth is this: we refuse to recognize the elephant in the room, we feel compelled to condemn Christians even as we elevate Muslims to sainthood (even those who detonate in Israeli malls), and reduce everything to a degree of cultural relativism that borders on the absurd. With that in mind, it is time to address, and perhaps put to rest, some of the fallacious arguments being posted by Muslims and their army of supplicants.

First, Muslims and their supporters frequently respond to any criticism or insight with attacks that are precisely in line with everything they rail against. Such attacks are typified by the likes of Ahmed Bedier who recently quipped that one is more likely to be molested by a priest than killed by a terrorist – so much for the champion of tolerance and respect. So much for the champion of the truth over distortions and statistical anomalies. Never mind that molestation is rampant in the Muslim world, though no one knows the statistics – they’re hard to get at when a country accepts child-brides and boy-prostitutes as a the norm (one of NAMBLA’s favorite vacation spots is Morocco). Never mind the fact that they (CAIR, The Nation of Islam, Hamas, the Yemeni government, etc.) refuse to discuss the horrors brought about by the own religious institutions and sanctioned by both Muslim scholars and governments. Never mind honor killings, executions of women who have been raped, imprisonment for openly practicing another religion, executions for apostasy, forced gang rapes of suspected adulteresses, public stoning and beheadings, and the list goes on. But this isn’t meant to be a catalogue of either the horrors committed as a matter of course by Islam, rather it is a comment on the “I know you are but what am I” diatribe preached by Muslims and the Left alike. Most of their responses to examination or polemic can be broken down into some simple over-arching themes.
