      @amadshk @gcaw @TheAtlantic that was indeed a huge weakness of article bc it focused singularly on one scholar's opinions

      @rezaaslan @gcaw not saying it was intentional. Imagine basing all Christianity on lords Salvation Army & 1 Muslim scholar of Christianity

      .@NateWatkins @rezaaslan @gcaw that's not the point. Imagine saying crusaders were the only true Christians...

      @amadshk @rezaaslan @gcaw that is the point. The US President denies they are even Muslims.

      @NateWatkins @rezaaslan @gcaw you obviously didn't get the point. As a Muslim, the piece is to tell me how I have been duped on Islam

      @amadshk @rezaaslan @gcaw I got the point quite well. You're looking at this from a personal religious bias. It has nothing to do with you.

      @rezaaslan @gcaw @TheAtlantic Uhh...if Islam doesn't exist is there an ISIS? By definition it has a responsibility for it.

      @gcaw @CommonBrad @rezaaslan that's ridiculous. Is this the same brilliant writer who wrote that piece?

      @goosegill @CommonBrad @rezaaslan easy point: even essential things are not causal in a simple way.

      @gcaw @goosegill @CommonBrad @rezaaslan Surely Islam is responsible for ISIS the same way socialism is reaponsible for the Red Brigades?

      @Atticus_Amber @goosegill @CommonBrad @rezaaslan "responsible" is just such a slippery word. Suffice to say Red Brigades were ... red.

      @gcaw @Atticus_Amber @CommonBrad @rezaaslan it is slippery, but do you reject doctrine's causal responsibility or not?

      @rezaaslan @gcaw @TheAtlantic if being motivated by something you follow incorrectly makes IT responsible, what's your solution to/for IT?

      @mahdiahmad @rezaaslan @gcaw @TheAtlantic infidels aren't innocent. You proved my point by referencing the Bible. Crusaders followed it too.
