Historical Methodology and Dogmatic Islamophilia (Part 4)
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 The provenance of an argument is not relevant, as long as it is submitted to rigorous examination.

Historical Methodology and Dogmatic Islamophilia (Part 3)
Part 1 Part 2 Troeltsch formulated three principles on which he believed the critical historical inquiry was based, and which were incompatible with traditional Christian belief: (1) the principle of criticism: our judgments about the past are provisionally true, open to revision in the light of criticism by peers, by the discovery of new evidence, […]
UK: Student who accidentally damaged Qur’an is suspended, student who threatened to kill him gets ‘words of advice’
Shattered, staggering, dhimmi Britain has made its priorities clear. Britain, as is increasingly obvious, is finished. “Police ‘give words of advice’ to boy who sent death threats to autistic student who lightly scuffed Quran at school,” by Kit Heren, LBC, March 3, 2023: Police have given “words of advice” to a boy who sent death […]
Bangladesh: Muslim who placed Qur’an in Hindu temple, inciting jihad riots, is released from prison
He placed the Qur’an in the temple in order to make it appear to local Muslims that the Hindus were disrespecting the Islamic holy book. The ensuing Islamic violence against Hindus is exactly what Mohammed Iqbal Hossain had wanted to bring about. “Bangladesh: Iqbal Hossain sentenced to 16 months in jail for placing Quran in […]
Malaysia spends $2,000,000 USD to to counter ‘Islamophobia’ by distributing copies of Qur’an worldwide
The crazed reaction of so many Muslims globally to the burning of the Qur’an speaks much louder about Islam than efforts to distribute the Qur’an in hopes that no one will notice its violent verses, despite the obvious fact that a significant number of Muslims follow them; and then there is the maltreatment of women.

France: Muslim accused of sexual assault of girls between ages of 9 and 11, said he was teaching them Qur’an
And maybe he was. In another incident in France, a Muslim quoted Qur’an while raping his victim. A survivor of a Muslim rape gang in the UK has said that her rapists would quote the Qur’an to her, and believed their actions justified by Islam. Thus it came as no surprise when Muslim migrants in France raped a […]
Denmark: Hacker group ‘Anonymous Sudan’ attacks hospitals in revenge for Qur’an burnings
The hospitals had nothing to do with the Qur’an burnings, of course, but this is how jihadis terrorize a population into submission: the hospital authorities, and no doubt many of the hospital patrons, will now plead with the state to restrict the freedom of expression so that the hospitals can operate without interference. “Hacker group: […]
UK: Councillor Akef Akbar Leads ‘Deadly’ Intimidation Campaign Against Pupils After Quran Accidentally Damaged
Muslims have put the free world on notice: if you insult Muhammad, Islam, their holy books, or even fail to consider Islamic law (Sharia) in all things, they will harm you, and no exceptions will be made for children or those who have neurological and developmental disorders. Four UK students have been suspended from a […]
India: Muslim group passes resolution against proposal that would establish one system of laws for all citizens
The Uniform Civil Code would apply to all citizens of India equally, regardless of their religion. This enrages the members of Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind, as they want to follow Sharia over and above the laws of the land. Can a society long endure, however, when it has two systems of laws for different segments of the […]
