Wonder how fast the Fatwahinese are gonna start issuing death threats over this?

They issue death threats because they are extremely insecure about their faith and deep down harbor nagging doubts about their beliefs.

Half of the Muslim population of the world would revolt upon that person or persons responsible for ruining the good name of Islam, and would probably not rest until death is the result.

That would be bad.

Now you've done it. You better go into hiding for offending the Jihadimuzzistinians.

As the author concludes in this article:

Throughout the Internet, Islamist sites denounce the work of a handful of marginalized scholars as evidence of a plot by Christian missionaries to sabotage Islam. What the Muslim world cannot conceal is its vulnerability and fear in the face of Koranic criticism. In the great battle for converts through the Global South, this may turn out to be a paralyzing disadvantage.

I think you are wrong about that.

I believe the extremist Muslims issue the death threats for two reasons.

One because the Koran states that those who insult Islam must die.

Two because of the old Bedouin sense of honor which is not unlike the old European honor codes of the seventeenth century that required that one’s honor must be defended to the death with the exception that the Bedouin did not believe in fair play and would gladly stab you in the back and feel that they had properly defended their honor. (So much for cultural equivalence).

Don’t underestimate your enemy. With liberals in control of our society with their belief in cultural equivalence we are at a great did advantage in this war.

We can not afford to underestimate the resolve of our enemy.

“Nagging Doubts” would suggest that our enemy is weak in their resolve. I do not see any evidence of that in the actions of our enemy.
