instead you went defensive and abusive, which is a perpetual leitmotif in your posts.

You serious? If anything, YOU didn't address any of my refutation of your central claim behind the post. The insinuation about religion here is pretty serious and I do feel the need to be a bit defensive because no one else will come to the defense of my point. Also, most other Muslims would have considered your line of questioning abusive but I'm not one of them. I legit tried to understand your points every step of the way. I also try my best to be reasonable and engage in a discussion but I do get annoyed and that is always clear in my tone. Regardless, I always provide substance. You on the other hand just keep handing out claims which sound appealing but which fail to gain any insight outside of talking points you've been fed from elsewhere.

You want to talk about Muslims ramming cars into civilians? I was perfectly willing to talk about it and I gave you my counter argument the best I could. At the end of the day, I think you were way less persuasive than me but neither of us thought we could change each other's mind anyway. I hope you at least get some insight into a narrative which fundamentally disagrees with your own. Let me also remind you that the mainstream media isn't talking about Muslims ramming cars into civilians in America right now, they are talking about "right wing extremists" ramming cars into civilians. I'm sure that will hit home for you a bit more and illustrate my point when I say that the same tactics used to smear and silence Muslims on an international level are going to be used against you and you are going to be too blinded by the Muslim and black boogeymen to even adequately identify the problems in your society.
