Well I be reluctant for anyone to know I were affiliated with islam particularly after posturing as a free-thinking rational poster.

Their technique is old and emphasizes the asking of endless strings of questions forcing one to justify their own position. It is propaganda/argumentation technique that preys on emotion and lures an opponent into a weak defensive posture.

The trick to dealing with this, IMHO, is to recognize and then target their false assumptions -- which invariably underlie their questions. Attack their assumptions by asking them questions and insist that they answer. Stalemate is the worst-case scenario. By all means avoid getting into an irrational, defensive pissing match. Unless of course you want to rattle their cages just for the heck of it.

Another interesting muse -- since there are so many criminal converts to "the peaceful religion" serving prison time, considering that have internet access, and "time" on their hands, shouldn’t one wonder just how many are fighting for the cause of islam via the internet from prison?
