Interesting answers. You mentioned my point about where rights come from but did not address it. You did not address dhimmitude, the rights of 'the inferior' citizens in ME culture at all, or even the broader topic of the Arabization of Europe. You then patted yourself on the back mistakenly for being able to draw the conversation off topic, although I stuck to it and brought it back.

In doing all of this you further made my point of the lengths that people would go to to justify things. The funny thing is that you never really added anything to the conversation one way or the other. At first I thought you were simply trying to play devil's advocate, but I guess not.

Could be possible that I didn't discuss "dhimmitude" because of several reasons ~ I don't think it's unique to Islam and it was readily resolvable by any individual who couldn't take the oppression.

All you had to do was put your thumbprint in the membership book at the local mosque and that was it. Now that didn't make you free since you still lived in a dictatorship (as have most of humanity for most of history), but they quit bothering you about the special taxes.

With respect to the Arabization of Europe, they could do worse, and have.
