Once again, you make a futile attempt to change the context mid-discussion. This is very sad for you. Anyone can just go back a few links and follow up on the discussion. Here is the original quote. It is clear that my use of the word "protected" was from an Islamic theological point of view and in *contrast* to Hindus. The point remains valid. Feel free to answer the question, if you can.


Hindus are far far closer to the Islamic concept of infidels than Westerners who are predominantly Christian and therefore a recognized and protected people ("People of Book).

So far from being able to dodge the issue by appeal to geography, there is an even stronger case to be made:

WHY DID THE MUSLIMS NOT GO ON A KILLING RAMPAGE OF HINDUS WHO ACCORDING TO ISLAM ARE BELIEVERS IN FALSE GODS?

If you can't make your case for that, then you are so much worse off trying to make the case they Muslims want to kill followers of a recognized religion, namely Christians.

Incidentally, seeing how often you seem to forget the context of the discussion as well as what it is that you post, science may offer you some solution...

BERLIN (Reuters) - A German scientist has been testing an "anti-stupidity" pill with encouraging results on mice and fruit flies, Bild newspaper reported Saturday.

It said Hans-Hilger Ropers, director at Max-Planck-Institute for Molecular Genetics in Berlin, has tested a pill thwarting hyperactivity in certain brain nerve cells, helping stabilize short-term memory and improve attentiveness.

"With mice and fruit flies we were able to eliminate the loss of short-term memory," Ropers, 62, is quoted saying in the German newspaper, which has dubbed it the "world's first anti-stupidity pill."

Yes, yes, I know it is not a sure thing or a complete cure. But in your case it may well be worth the try. You might be able to convince them of that your mental capabilities are so similar to a fruit fly that you could be in the current testing program now.

If you need a reference, I'd be more than happy to provide one. Perhaps C2 can join you so you won't feel alone.
