ALMOST EVERY TIME you send out an email about Islam or post something on your Facebook page, you will get back objections. They're almost always the standard responses: Christianity is just as bad, I have some Muslim neighbors and they're nice people, this is just a few extremists, blah blah blah. You've probably heard it all so many times you're bored with it. It is a lot of work to start from scratch with each of these objections and educate people all over again, especially if you've already done it again and again. It's tedious. And it's not necessary. Let's speed up our work and make it less boring. Let's all use the Answers to Objections as our central go-to page. Let's simply cut and paste from the answers. And if you get an objection that's not on the list, let us know and we'll add it to the list. Let's be efficient with our time and not waste our efforts reinventing the wheel. We have a lot of people to educate. If you have an answer to one of the objections — an answer not included in the article — post your answer in the comments of that article (or email it to me and I'll do it for you) so others can use it and so you, yourself can cut and paste from the article in the future. Use the article as a place to store your material. When you make a particularly good answer in an email or on Facebook, or if you read someone else's excellent response, cut and paste it into the comments on the appropriate article. Let's develop a useful encyclopedia of good responses. Citizen Warrior is not a temporary blog. We've been around since October 11th, 2001, and our domain name is paid up for the next five years. So please use this site as a permanent resource. Use the linked list of Answers to Objections to store your own best answers and the best answers you come across. Then you'll only need one link to go to all the answers to every objection. Let's waste as little time as possible awakening our fellow non-Muslims.

ReplyDelete-Finally Figured out Islam
Of course some will point out Christianity is just as bad; because you're just picking out Islam, not other religions.
ReplyDeleteThis website is one of the best I've come across in recent times. CW, all I can say is that, if you can somehow get a large following amongst the university crowd, that would be excellent. Debate for the most part is stifled at colleges and universities when it comes to Islam so the more younger people "getting it" and debating as you've laid out here, the better.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you're able to target particular college interest groups across the country but doing so would aid in the battle. Best of luck and thanks for the website.
