No offence, but it seems to me you want to see "Islam" and "the West" as a conflict. Maybe that story of Islam and the West in conflict has been manufactured, and your response (like many others') is desired by, and plays into the hands of, those who benefit from manufacturing conflict.

- dosy 8y agoI didn't say facts didn't happen. I said the stories we make of them are optional. I assume I know the same facts as you, and I choose a different interpretation. But maybe that's not true, maybe the facts you and I know are different. If you read the entire book, I think you'll know why I say Islam is part of the West, not versus it.
- deogeo 8y agoThat's a fine ad hominem, but you offer no rebuttal to my points. Perhaps you could share with us the main points the book makes instead?
- dosy 8y agoRebutt what? I don't see your conclusion following from your examples. So there's nothing to rebutt. By the way, I highly recommend you read the book.
