Bashing the critics

Ibn Warraq, Robert Spencer, and co are liars. It is that simple. I took Robert spencer on, as you generously linked in your post, and squelched his lies. He misquotes intentionally in order to justify his vicious lies against Muslims and continue selling books. His moto: “Screw the Truth! As long as it sells, I’ll continue lying!”

The above is just one example of how Muslims try to dismiss Ibn Warraq, Robert Spencer, Ali Sina and others like them who dare criticize the teachings of the Qu’ran.

Muslims call them liars, dismiss their work as of no academic value, and constantly repeat the mantra of “intentionally misquoting” the passages from the Qu’ran. They think that by leveling such charges on Robert Spencer and others like him, nobody would then read their writings.

Robert Spencer’s book, The Truth about Muhammad, was on the New York Times best seller list for several weeks. Karen Armstrong, well-known apologist for Islam, wrote a scathing review and revealed herself to be not that much of a scholar of Islam when compared to Robert Spencer. Robert Spencer easily shot down her objections to his book.

What Muslims like the commenter quoted above, and bloggers like Mawardi and Ibn Anwar, do not get is that non-Muslims do not want to read white-washed books about their prophet. Karen Armstrong’s hagiography of Muhammad is not worth a penny of my money.

Ali Sina said that he would remove his site, publicly claim that Islam is the true religion, and even pay $50, 000 to anyone who can disprove his charges against Muhammad logically. I guess no one, thus far, has been able to disprove his charges, but not for lack of trying!

Maybe Mawardi and Ibn Anwar should try debating Ali Sina! Oh wait, Ali Sina only wants to debate reputable scholars and not just Muslims “moved by their faith and zealotry”! I guess Marwardi and Ibn Anwar won’t qualify!

As to the commenter above, Abul Layth, his so called squelching of Robert Spencer’s lies is not that much of a response and squelching. Read and see for yourself!

And oh that gratuitous insert by Abul Layth about the sins of the Catholic priests, unlike the honor killings practised by some Muslims, there is no basis for assumption for their evil deeds from the Bible!
