Letter From A Pen Pal

Rusty Shackleford has struck up a philosophical dialogue with an Islamic pen pal in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. At The Jawa Report, Rusty relates his latest communication with Karim. Although, there are no surprises on the Islamic perspective, it's interesting to see how lizard-leaping logic is used in the argument. Take a look and observe a debate with someone who makes pronouncements that contradict previous pronouncements and, all along, Karim apparently thinks it makes sense.

As a belief system, Karim seems to be able to take every dictate of Islam independent of all other dictates. Consequently, Islam is a "religion of peace" is not conflicted by "kill the infidels."

Rather disjointed thinking, I'd say. Yet, somehow, hundreds of millions of Muslims think it all makes perfect sense.
