Ask him if he thinks that it is ok to stone a woman for adultery to death or give her a cliterodectomy. What about cutting off the hands of thieves? Is he ok with that? What about executing a woman who does not have 4 male witnesses to testify on her behalf should she be raped? What about the mindless attacks on Christians and Jews world wide that had nothing to do with anything anyone else does? What about non-stop lying to the west (taqqiah)- is he ok with that?
He calls those arguments straw men. He is focused on the fact that the pastor is responsible for the deaths. Not the killers. Becasue they were provoked.
