Note to Muslims & Non-Muslims
Responding to the arguments themselves is the easy part. What I really want everyone—Muslim or non-Muslim—to pause and reflect on is the
disingenuous pattern of engagement that keeps surfacing.
That’s where the real issue lies, and it deserves just as much attention as the content of the arguments themselves.
When dealing with Hindutvas & Islamophobes you will notice a few consistent traits:
- They try to flood the zone in a strategy which Steve Bannon describes as The Muzzle Velocity PR Strategy. This is deliberate to prevent them from being pinned down
- They know the answers to these queries but simply turn a blind eye and repeat it elsewhere without any shame
- They never set out their belief and open it to scrutiny. In fact, you can see it on many forums when they claim to be "Atheists" or "not sure" or say "Its not important what I believe in..."
This is deliberate to flood the zone.
I strongly encourage everyone to visit the YouTube channels of
Yasir Nadeem al Wajidi (Hindi/Urdu) or
Muhammed Ali (The Muslim Lantern) in English, as an example. These platforms expose the
deception of those who come forward to attack Islam but consistently avoid defending or even acknowledging their own belief systems.
Unlike many other religions, Islam has no issue with being scrutinized. In fact, it encourages critical thinking and reflection before belief. Topics like the abrogation of verses, for example, are not hidden or controversial within the tradition—they’ve been openly debated by Muslim scholars for centuries, long before any Orientalists entered the picture.
