It is just self preservation on his part.

Originally posted by whodeyAre you sure? I interact with dozens of Muslims with critical thinking skills which are evidently far, far superior to yours just about every single day of my working life. I'm not sure what intellectual qualifications you think you have that enable you to generalize about what's happening "in Islam". Perish the thought that being a far right misanthrope, pumped up on speed-read screeds on confirmation-bias hate blogs, and access to this message board, are the only qualifications you have. 🙄

I'd be interested in hearing what you think your qualifications are.
If you agree with whodey's Trump-like assertion that "Critical thinking skills seem to be shunned in Islam" then just say so.

Originally posted by FMFHad some said that Christians lacked critical thinking skills would you go out of your way to call it a ludicrously condescending generalization?

Originally posted by FetchmyjunkOf course. I have lived - and live - among Christians all my life. Many of them have greater critical thinking skills than me, and certainly superior to the ones you display here. I have said more or less the same thing to you before - within about the last week or so - in response to more or less the same question. I said it directly to you. It was a direct response to what was, for all intents and purposes, exactly the same question. Do you really not remember?
