Quote:And yet you keep banging on about it
This is unfathomable to you isn't it? You keep lying, and we keep pulling you up on it. Why is this happening to you? We are being petty aren't we?
Quote:as if you can't understand that this particular point of contention is not only completely irrelevant to the authenticity of the story
Which story Gandalf? It keeps changing as every detail turns out to be a lie.
Quote:If the story really was as deceitful and relied so heavily on lies as you make out, then it makes no sense to make such a song and dance over this silly little irrelevancy.
One at a time Gandalf. One at a time. If I accept your premise that we must ignore the little lies and focus instead on the bigger truth you try to make out of them, where does the argument go? Exactly where you want - vague, meaningless spin where one opinion is just as valid as the other and there is no recourse to facts.
Quote:It hasn't actually occurred to you that no one except you and, for a fleeting moment Soren, disputes the claim that there were hundreds of muslims.
One lie at a time Gandalf. Let's start with, was there a second line?
Quote:Interesting that this is one of the horrendously sinister lies you are using to justify your claim that this story is an outrageous organised muslim plot to conceal the threat of Islam
No Gandalf. I did not use the term plot. Nor did I use the term conspiracy. I described it as "Muslims doing what Muslims do". This comes naturally to you.
Quote:Interesting that what you call a lie (and then dress it up so enthusiastically to become a most sinister lie) is a claim that "there is no way to know for sure".
Do you want me to go over all the lies again Gandalf? Shall we start with your original thread title?
Quote:FD I just hope in your more reflective moments you can appreciate the absurdly tenuous basis this great sinister plot of yours is built on.
You built it Gandalf, not me. This is simply what you do, remember? It's OK to lie so long long as it is in the interest a greater truth.
