I wonder what Hamza is trying to achieve with this. After receiving, well half receiving, a message on Facebook from Hamza, who has banned me from his Facebook page after I pointed out some mistakes in his reasoning, I felt compelled to look at his claims and assertions and show what I think of them and try to knock some sense into him and that his current attitude will not generate any respect from me. He follows the typical: "mistakes are made by others, not me" approach and does not realise there is more of a problem inside Islam and the understanding of the religion and its underlying book than the representation to the outside world. He focuses on details which are actually irrelevant to the overall point, the claim that the Koran does not contain factual errors.

My research and the ensuing results are presented to my best knowledge and ability. Please don't get me wrong: I know I make mistakes just like anyone, even if I try not to. So if I do, please tell me. But let me know what and where and why. Not the way Hamza is doing.

I wish Muslims would look at Carol Tavris and the dissonance theory and how self-justification and self-deception often keep people from changing their minds even in the light of compelling contrary evidence, because the evidence is often dissonant with one's self-image. Cognitive dissonance will make humans feel right even if they are wrong. All I takes is critical thinking. And self-awareness.
