To make it more clear:
Islam harms society because its adherents will inevitably do things or try and do things that cause harm, such as medically unnecessary infant circumcisions. I believe I have warrant for this belief because every Islamic society and the vast majority of individual Muslims practice or attempt to practice or express the desire to practice infant medically unnecessary infant circumcision.
Now you can either accept I'm correct, or defeat my argument. But I'm not trying to play a rhetorical burden shifting game here.
As I pointed out in the other thread, your 'inevitably' here is invalid, as it isn't necessarily true that they will. Thus your warrant is invalid on the face of it. You're basically arguing that correlation is causation, which is invalid. When we allow ice cream trucks to do business, people die. On your argument we thus have a warrant for banning ice cream trucks. It's completely absurd. Additionally, your warrant depends upon your views of infant circumcision being correct. Good luck with that.
