I've already told you that I'm willing to carry on as though all those incidents from a thousand years ago are true, simply because I don't have time to visit the library and hope there is a book on "Debunking Accusations Against Muslims from Islamophobe Websites".

What do I care ?

It doesn't affect my argument even if Muslims DID do horrific things in the first centuries of their religion

...Christians were still burning people at the stake for much longer than a thousand years after the inception of Christianity also.
Are you even able to imagine what kind of death that is ?
To be on fire but be tied up so you can't run ?
To feel your eyelids burning off you ?

Yes, you should.

And it wasn't an occasion when you should have said "nearly all the time". It was an occasion when you should have said "now and then".

[And incidentally thanks loads for your help on that other discussion - we managed to muddle through surprisingly well so no worries.]
