Not surprisingly you miss the point of the tweet: one does not go to ill-informed or disturbed Christians (as many do) to learn about Islam – but to informed Muslims.
You might start to practise this obvious truth Paulus.
I really sympathize with this sentiment. As a Catholic, I’ve come across people who criticize my faith based on misconceptions. I then ask them how many books about Catholicism they’ve read that are written by Catholics. The answer is always none.
Back in the day I started learning about Islam through non-Muslims. That was a mistake. Now I only use Muslims sources so learn about Islam.
Paulus asked which Muslims? I would emphasize scholars from the Classical period over modern scholars. That’s just my opinion.
Paulus, you have a preference for shias? lol which ones? There is a wide spectrum that goes under that name. But yes, you should go to them to learn more about their take on Islam, not radical Christian apologists.
MAXIM: One does not go to ill-informed or disturbed Christians (like Sam and Wood) to learn about Islam – but to informed Muslims.
Do you agree? You have failed to address this common sense maxim.
It is very unlikely that Dr Considine reads my humble blog. And I suspect he would not wish to debate mentally disturbed attempted murderers who conduct campaigns of hate against Muslims.
Wood called out Considine for attention. That’s the way he makes his living. Clicks=money. Thankfully Dr Considine is a smart guy and can see through David Wood’s game.
A debate is for people who are undecided to listen to both sides and then make up their mind. Shabir Ally got towelled up by Wood. But to his credit he got in the ring. Your feeble excuse for Considine is what is transparent.
I agree Craig. Did you listen to Osama bin Laden? Or the Ayatollah Khomeini when he said modern islam condones sex with animals and minors. As Mark Steyn said he was quite a prominent muslim in his day.

Paul, please answer my question. Which Muslims shall we all listen to? I have a preference for Shias, so I assume you will approve?

Dear Dr Considine David Wood has publicly challenged you to a debate. Him and Robert Spencer on one side; you and Reza Aslan on the othside.
Come on. We all want to see it.
