Or it might result in real trouble.
Ya think?

No I am not advocating that. Just because I state something true doesn't mean that I am in favor of doing it. It just means I made a true statement.
If I stated that the sun will go supernova and destroy the earth it doesn't mean I advocate it.
Your opinion of Islam and how to deal with it does not have the factuality of an astrophysical process -- never mind the fact that the Sun cannot go supernova. You'll actually need to demonstrate the "truth" of your premise. And the fact that you purport to present your opinion as "fact" is a form of advocacy, whether you realize it or not.
Nice attempt to cover your point with a sciency-sounding rationale, though.

Is it some sort of record to be Godwined by the 2nd page on this forum?
If he doesn't like the comparison perhaps he could reflect on what he's really saying. Abaris did nothing wrong in pointing out what is a fact.
Sometimes folks need to have it pointed out.

I don't think you can nuke the faith out of people, though.
The Japanese were shocked into changing their way of thinking as a result of getting nuked. Not to say it would be the same for Arabs but it's possible.
They didn't surrender their religion, they surrendered the war.
