You have no more reason than I to accept any of those claims.
1) Praise being a proof to God's greatness and his favors, and even his existence.
2) Exalted wisdom existing.
3) Super elite in goodness servants of God existing.
4) The servants in 4, are most fit for leadership and guiding humanity, and would receive exalted wisdom.
5) They would guide humanity and share their wisdom to their best of their capacity.
6) These servants are be found in religion.
7) The way God uses such servants to guide humanity has an exalted wisdom and praise.
8) That exalted wisdom is uniquely found in the Quran/Islam or religions that are offshoots of the Quran.

The rest is "my book is more special than all other books". Sorry, I disagree as a reader of books........ and I still don't believe your faith claims (including that your favorite book is unique)- but you're certainly entitled to love whichever stories you wish. I can understand the experience. Personally, I don't have to believe in wizards to understand the King Arthur story, nor is my approval of any of the ideals therein, or the beauty and goodness of the story -as I see it...... proof that wizards exist.
I think that my summary of your "argument" for Islam is as fair and accurate as it was the first time I posted it. I think that your response drives it home even harder than I could have. You disagree, so you should be familiar with the concept of disagreeing about matters of opinion - and yet here we are, with you insisting that your opinions about super elite exalted wisdom books (sue me) be taken as fact, or as the consequences of an argument which you have not and can not provide?
