Re: Moslem Conquests; A Short History of the Beginning of Islam

Why is it that every discussion about Islam is always redirected to either a debate about Christianity, or the US? Why are people unwilling to approach the subject of Islam exclusively?

I mean, I'm not claiming the US or christianity to have spotless records, or that they are even approaching a level of near perfection now. There are plenty of flaws to discuss. But they seem to be discussed when someone broaches the subject of Islam. Why the misdirection? Why deflect the topic? It happens just about every time.

Now I know the OP is certainley guilty of redirecting just about any thread into a discussion about Islam, so he is complicit in this kind of misdirection as anybody. But others start threads about these subjects, and the same tactics are employed. Why?

Why not discuss Islam on its own merits, its own history, its current state? Certainley people start threads about Christianity or the US to criticize it, and the thread usually stays on target.

To borrow a little something from Silence of the Lambs, why not point that high powered perspective towards Islam? Or are you afraid of what you will see?
