My Rebuttal to Dawkins Argument

[Brian37]

As a muslim, I am not allowed to use profanity because Islam teaches me to respect people, regardless of their beliefs and views. Please, I would like it if you respect me as a human, and not use profanity. You are not a Muslim, and you do not have a degree on Islam, you speak on a few researches you have done through the internet. I advise you to talk to Muslim Scholars who have a masters in Islam. I advise you to watch Reza Aslan, Ahmed Deedat, Maajid Nawaz and etc.

Oh and sorry, human rights are a given, and yes, you have the right to believe in Allah and Mo, but no, ideas as claims do not deserve blind value or "respect" outside your right to make the claim. And so what, followers in Islam have theology degrees, and? So do Christians and Muslims and Hindus and Buddhists.

If you are not comfortable with certain words, fine, but that is your comfort level, not every body gets bent out of shape over words. Now this is a problem I have with well intended liberals. I love the empathy in my species, but I find it sad for anyone to be more concerned with blasphemy or cussing, than actual physical violence and oppression and bigotry done in the name of a holy book, not just yours.

There are oppressed Muslims in the east, oppressed Christians in the east, and oppressed Jews, and even in the west harassed minorities including atheists. But here at least, nobody is calling for your death nor should they. Remember that you came here on your own nobody forced you to be here and nobody is going to force you to stay. But this is what atheists do, we attack bad logic and bad claims but never confuse blasphemy with oppression. Humans have rights, but ideas do not deserve to be free from being offended..

Civility is not demanding to be free from getting offended, civility is what you do when you get offended. Most atheists here have heard the worst from Christians and Muslims and lots of people. We've been called names and been equated to Hitler and Stalin. So welcome to the real world. On a planet of 7 billion, sometimes others will offend you. Your best bet is to worry more about yourself and your own arguments.
