Islam Myths

Looks like my opponent forgot that round 2 was for opinions and not rebuttals. And then he decides to try and change them, I put the debate up and you accepted this challenge. So you can move And yes I did send a challenge. http://www.debate.org... "Evaded my challenge" - Well, not quite. I constantly broke down your points and you repeated yourself and then claimed victory. And now you accuse me of strawmanning you but you have just strawmanned me. I didn't request the website to be shutdown, the forum was finished. You sent a challenge which I accepted so there was no point of continuing. I stated that the 6 myths were part of Muslims. Not once did I mention the word "Muslims" in the same sentence. So again, you are strawmanning. I did not endorse them, like it or not. The voters will see. "Widely accepted that Muhammad was a pedophile." Hadiths can be false, especially if they contradict the Quran. The hadiths were mostly written by Hisham who is not the most credible source. http://www.discoveringislam.org... "The definition of a child is someone under 18." Not really, a child is someone who has not grown up. There is no specific age, especially not back then. Some historians say that Aisha was between 17-19. Her age is controversial. Bearing in mind that Aisha reached puberty and based on the way she was described, she was an adult. Any hadith can be false, and can be corrupted unlike the Quran which states that you must be at the age of marriage to marry. So Aisha was at the age of marriage. "And test the orphans [in their abilities] until they reach marriageable age. Then if you perceive in them sound judgement, release their property to them. And do not consume it excessively and quickly, [anticipating] that they will grow up. And whoever, [when acting as guardian], is self-sufficient should refrain [from taking a fee]; and whoever is poor - let him take according to what is acceptable. Then when you release their property to them, bring witnesses upon them. And sufficient is Allah as Accountant." - 4:6 Muhammad would not disobey the Quran. "Quota is not a credible source." Quota is credible if the answer is correct. "She got beaten up by Muhammad." Yeah no, how can she get beaten up if he died? Why was she happy? How did she get the motivation to lead an army? It all does not match up. "Stealing is not banned but encouraged." Why? Because in my opponent's opinion, taking war spoils is wrong. Taking war spoils from the enemy isn't wrong. It is wrong to let your enemy get stronger. Claiming Muslims are at war with the world does not make taking war spoils wrong. Taqiyya: It is not taught. https://quran.com... Verses say planning not deceiving https://quran.com... https://quran.com... What a strange bring up, this verse was saying that Muhammad would be saved by God from enemies. https://quran.com... Again, no sign of the word "deceive." So in his logic, taqiyya is debunked. Empty claims? Thanks for telling me why I should not trust you. Everyone must be questionned right? Slavery? Excuses? Muslims rapidly multiplied it? Irrelevant, the debate is about Islam. You seem to think every rich person has a slave known as a butler. You strawman me again, a servant is not a slave. A servant has choices, slaves have no choices. Taking freedom away is classed as oppression which is wrong. That's the fact. https://www.islamicity.org... My opponent has made a good attempt but has created strawmen and hypocritically accuses me of such. Anyways, to end my argument. All of these 6 points are myths.
