Quote:You are explaining that I should hate abu because you do.
It is entirely up to you what sort of emotional response you have to this Spot. I am just trying to get you to be honest about it. Cognitive dissonance is the obvious response you should be having right now.
Quote:Who cares what he wants?
Obviously you do. You have gone to a lot of effort to misrepresent it. People don't usually lie about something over and over again in the face of the evidence unless they have some kind of vested interest.
Quote:Lots of ppl want lots of things.
Very few people want to destroy human rights and democracy and kill people for thought crimes, though it seems to be common among the Muslims I have spoken to.
Quote:If they cant do it and they know they cant do it how is it a problem?
Now this is getting to the heart of the matter spot. I think I will start a new thread on it.

I agree with you on this spot. That's all democracy is, with a few qualifications of course that are required to make it functioning and fair. For some reason Abu likes to pretend it is an entire belief system, but his argument disappears once you try to ask him about it. He certainly leapt on your 'American sloganism' angle, but only because he wanted to fool you into thinkig he was not opposed to actual democracy and did not want to impose his views on others.
