    Eve vs Lilith

    Out of curiosity, why do you use the metaphor of the night wind here?

    Thoughts on Heaven, Hell, and the Christian/Islamic God

    Since I don't view the Bible as an authoritative source of information on Jesus' life or the way the world is or will be in time to come, these verses hold no significance for me.

    Lucifer & Satan: Same, different, or what?

    I accept that. :) But equally, it might hold merit as an alternative view.

    Richard Dawkins interviews a Muslim guy

    But, for the sake of the argument, if we take your earlier figures as a given, that means some 50% (or more) of Muslims don't want Sharia law. Ergo they don't have a fundamentalist interpretation of Islam, so on this argument, I don't think we can say that all Islam is totalitarian.

    Richard Dawkins interviews a Muslim guy

    800 million might say they do (this figure is obviously an extrapolation from survey data) but the number who actually understand the implications for them and their families and would really want to live under Sharia law is likely to be fewer (not least given that few Muslims really understand...

    Have you got some evidence for these assertions?

    Do you have some initial thoughts about where this line might fall?

    Perhaps because they are in the minority/have to in order to comply with the law/expectations within their country? Give them the power they desire, and things might turn out rather differently.

    Richard Dawkins interviews a Muslim guy

    I'm not sure fairly clear is clear enough here, though. I'd suggest inserting the word 'fundamentalist' before your every reference to manifestations of Islam or Muslims that you have issues with.

    Richard Dawkins interviews a Muslim guy

    Very few of these governments have adopted Sharia law in its entirety, though. Indeed, many fundamentalist Muslims attack their governments for their corruption and for not being (truly) religious.

    Richard Dawkins interviews a Muslim guy

    Perhaps you should make clearer in your posts that it is fundamentalist Islam and the actions of fundamentalist Muslims that you have a (justified) problem with.

    Richard Dawkins interviews a Muslim guy

    Islam at its worst does indeed have a significant impact on many people (mostly Muslims). But far from all manifestations of Islam as interpreted and practiced by (many) other Muslims have these kinds of negative impacts.

    Richard Dawkins interviews a Muslim guy

    I pretty much agree. But it would be pretty easy to lie just in order to get in. So I'm not sure how practical this would be in limiting the entry of the kinds of people you want to stop from entering the country.

    Richard Dawkins interviews a Muslim guy

    So these people would have to say they believe in theocracies, broadly defined? Or specific kinds of theocracy (e.g. Islamic ones)?

    Sure. Glad to hear it. Do you think there is more we can/should do on the rights question?
