Searching for truth - I know for 100% fact that not a single person here has read the Quran...
Then you are simply demonstrating your ignorance. The issue is not that I have not read the Quaran. The fact is, I could not interpret it the way you have in a million years. It is a book of hatred, stupidity, and ignorance.
@sapporo
I honestly thought you were smarter than that. Either you are still just trying to muddy the waters by now playing dumbs or did not read my initial post where I specifically pointed out Shelly boy's failed quora post that he posted in hopes it would be true.
@Searching for truth
Your hypothesis is not valid, therefore it is false.
You resorting to ad hominems and failing to offer evidence does not help your argument.
"I specifically pointed out"
Liar, you simply dismissed it, and offered naught else, but then as others have pointed out you have nothing else to offer.
Now are you going to address the fact I have answered your question 4 times despite your lie it has not been answered. No of course you aren't, just as my previous answer unseated your bullshit, and now you lie about it, so you will continue to lie here. Your posts are consistent at least, lazy, ignorant and dishonest each and every time.

"If speaking out against Islam crucifying people who speak out against Islam is so hateful and atrocious, why aren't wise people speaking out against Islam crucifying people who speak out against Islam being so hateful and atrocious?"
@TalyEarth03
“Lawrence Krauss vs Hamza Tzortzis. So let…” Oh yes, Lawrence Krauss, the Atheist that endorses incest. I have actually watched this debate twice in the past. Is there a point you are trying to make? The video is over 2 hours long. Based off your reply I don’t know how you can say “so it answers the OP”. Since you call Lawrence a scientist, do you also endorse incest as he does?
Since you follow Islam, which teaches that everybody is descended from Adam and Eve, do you support incest?
What about genocide, torture, lying, and child abuse?
Krauss has a PhD. in physics from MIT; and has taught the subject at numerous universities including Yale and Harvard. It would take a very strange definition of scientist to exclude him.
Krauss didn't endorse incest; he said: "It's not clear to me that it is wrong". I'd have to agree, if for no other reason that variable kinship rules.
You have to wonder how stupid someone would have to be to try and hide behind false accusations of supporting incest, when he worships a man who was a known paedophile, and refuses to answer as to whether he thinks raping a nine year old child is ever morally acceptable.
No prizes for why he is pretending to ignore my posts, like Breezy he doesn't appreciate it when he is asked pointed questions about his superstitious beliefs, he prefers to indulge in vapid preaching.
He asked for a scientist or scholar and he got both in Krauss, no surprise he'd have no answer beyond sticking his fat fingers in his ears, and shouting LAH LAH LAH NO ONE CAN ANSWER ME LAH LAH LAH. He is to religious apologetics what the chuckle brothers are to comedy.
Mohammed raped a 9 year old girl, so you endorse paedophilia?
Anyone can use reductio ad absurdum fallacies Bullwinkle. Here's another answer for you to ignore.
I love watching you make stupid ignorant claims, and then pretending they haven't unraveled.

You want a debate between a scientist and a muslim scholar. The form of the debate answers the question you asked. Yes I don't know if they debate what you calls atrocities, but given the topic, I think it is a fairly good assumption that they will come to lapidation etc... You see I'm not affirming an absolute.
Futhermore, even if this scientist endorses incest, it doesn't mean that he is disqualified for the discussion. Lastly, I do not know how him endorsing incest means I do too.
I do not believe that Muslims should be tortured for believing that I should be tortured.
I'd like to say that if this makes me a totally hateful and atrocious person, then they can burn in hell for all I care, as I imagine it would be rather a clever and "badass" thing to say. Unfortunately however, I fear that doing so would risk making the world a worse place by being taken at face value by fundamentalists, who are not generally known for their ability to appreciate levity.
@Nyarlathotep
He also said “generally incest produces genetic defects”. So, as a scientist and atheist shouldn’t that which produces defects be wrong? Or is it now ok to be ok with defects or see nothing wrong with it when he later says and claims “societies want to exist” by exist I assume he is talking about the human race. Seems like he’s fighting between his atheist part telling him its ok while his scientific self is tell him its wrong. Also, Islam says incest is wrong so looks like Islam and science continue to agree. Looks like it's hard being an atheist and and scientist
What has this to do with your request being answered and you trying desperately to ignore that answer with this red herring?
"Islam says incest is wrong"
Though you're ok with old men well past middle age raping nine year old children apparently.
As I said before, what is or isn't incest is determined by variable kinship rules. There have been (non-royalty) kinship rules where sisters and bothers marriage (and sex of course) is not considered incest; and there are kinship rules where 6th degree parallel cousins are consider incest.
Being a non-believer, I don't have the same access to god's mind that believers seem to have, to firmly establish what is right and wrong. I'd say birth defects are undesirable; just like smoking and drinking is undesirable during pregnancy.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
And finally, why are you so concerned about a physicists opinion on incest? It's like worrying about a cashier at McDonald's views on plate tectonics.
Attempt number 7
If Islam is so bad, why aren’t all these “atrocities” that the lazy, ignorant and arrogant haters here bring up ever brought up by Scientists and scholars in a professional and educated debate against a Muslim scholar?
Your hypothesis is not valid, therefore it is false.
For a hypothesis to be legitimate, it should be clear, precise, and falsifiable. Your failure is entirely of your own creation. I would suggest that you do not determine what is true based purely on what you wish to be true.
You resorting to ad hominems and failing to offer evidence does not help your argument.
Answered 4 times, and you are still lying.
Here's a fifth, different scholar this time, knock yourself champ.

I answered your question over an hour ago in this very thread.

Sure it is easy to say no one answers your question when you do not even look.

“Maybe it has not been answered because you say: "lazy, ignorant, arrogant haters" (you are saying we are lazy, ignorant and arrogant haters,)” In my initial post I specifically said some, while not mentioning names. Honestly, I do not and did not have you in that group.
“and then ask us to do your work for you by finding a debate between "professional and educated" scientist and scholar against a Muslim Scholar.” This is why I said “I feel I will need to clarify every single sentence since the majority of atheists here seem to always reply with what they think I meant or wish I meant rather than what I actually said.” You just did exactly that. I asked a question, you are free to voluntarily “do the work” or not.
“So, insult all of us” you are still reply based of what you think I said and wish I said vs what I actually said.
“then tell us to look up debates for you, that you can easily by your own opinion shoot down if we even did bother to do so.” Since no one has yet to answer my question you have 0 justification to make such a statement or come to that conclusion.
“That looks more like flame bait and an attack on most all atheist regulars here then a genuine question,” Again, you are still reply based of what you think I said and wish I said vs what I actually said.
“which could be more along the lines of: hey you guys: do you know of any good professional debates between a scientist and a muslim scholar that explores topics that are frequently brought up here?” The reason I framed my question the way I did is because I have already done the work for myself and not waiting for anyone to do the work for me. Also, I chose my question because I wanted it to be very specific on the subject I mentioned, while I appreciate your suggestion the results of that suggestion would be very broad.
“Of which I would respond: Sure, No problem, here: I did a 2 second google search for you, you should be able to find relevant links from there.” Thank you for that link but, as I already said, its too broad and does not address the main issue of my question.
“That looks an awful lot like an argument to me, "prove me wrong or further strengthen my current view" Respectfully, I disagree. I said “strengthen my current view on some of the Atheists here” and I still stand by that since no one that replied has yet to provide an answer. My current view on some of the Atheists here (notice the keyword is SOME), is that they are “lazy, ignorant, arrogant haters” and nothing has been done to change that, yet.
“Answered the question, what happens now?” Answer and shall both see.
“Looks an awful like arguing to me” original question was not an argument, it was a question. Not sure where you see me arguing.
“If you were just looking for a different point of view, I imagine there would be a lot less attacking and defensiveness on your part.” I don’t see any attacking on my part, please point it out. If by attacking you are referring to me saying "lazy, ignorant, arrogant haters" then, please prove it/me wrong. In terms of defensiveness, I do not think nor categorize myself simply explaining and answering questions about Islam as being defensive. There have been times were I corrected what people have said, again, I do not consider that being defensive. I hold the position of Islam does NOT need to be defended especially, when “attacked” by people that have no idea what it is. Muslims and their actions need to be defended in order not to give a bad rep to the rest of us. There’s a big difference between Muslims and Islam today, unfortunately.
@Searching for truth
You are asking us to prove your subjective label "lazy, ignorant, arrogant haters" wrong, even though it is subjective, even though you do not define who you mean by that, or what you mean by that...which is why you have been asked to present your hypothesis in a way that is "clear, precise, and falsifiable". Otherwise, it is false as it stands...it does not need to be proved false.
But your hypothesis wasn't even about your habit of directing baseless ad hominems.
@Searching for truth …….
I would suggest that it is the wording of your ,so called ,question that is your problem...…..
consider...."If Islam is so bad, why aren’t all these “atrocities” that the lazy, ignorant and arrogant haters here bring up ever brought up by Scientists and scholars in a professional and educated debate against a Muslim scholar?".
You see...its too big a question...… ignoring the ad hominems…. its "all these "atrocities" ….. all what atrocities ?
You need to ask a specific … not a general..... then you might get what you would consider a valid response....
What specific charge against Islam do you deem to be unjust or fabricated.....
@watchmen
“I would suggest that it is the wording of your ,so called ,question that is your problem...…..” Got a solution to solve this problem? I would gladly rephrase my question if it would actually produce an answer. Of course, as long as it does not change the intent and ultimate meaning of the question. I am open to suggestions.
“You see...its too big a question...… ignoring the ad hominems…. its "all these "atrocities" ….. all what atrocities ?” Well since it’s a big question there should be many answers by now yet, at least 1 but, still sitting at 0.

6th time I've answered.
@Sapporo
“You are asking us to prove your subjective label "lazy, ignorant, arrogant haters" wrong, even though it is subjective,” Aww, is that what is hurting your feelings? A few words got your ability to understand the main message of a question all messed up? I am going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you know exactly what my question means and how it’s intended. But, again, typical Atheist, simply trying to muddy the waters in an effort to avoid reaching an answer he won’t like and that will ultimately prove his hate and doubt towards Islam are simply false and unjustified.
@Searching for truth.....
Its not for me to re-phrase your question ….. only you know what you wish to ask
"Well since it’s a big question there should be many answers by now...."
Possibly...…. BUT you haven't asked A question as yet..... so you aint going to get AN answer....
You're speaking of atrocities levelled against Islam..... pick one ….. any one..... your choice
@watchmen
"You're speaking of atrocities levelled against Islam..... pick one ….. any one..... your choice" id rather not limit it to one. Give people more choices to choose from in an effort to make this as easy as possible. Also I said " atrocities" because i personally don't think islam itself has committed any atrocities since it does not preach or teach that but, many here have. Take Sapporo for example, if he decided to actually be genuine he could simply bring up any of the "atrocities" or practices he think are wrong and present them. Yet, he choose to dance around and avoid providing an answer. Some Muslims have committed crimes just as many atheists have. My point and focus is islam in the context of a prefissional debate, not Muslims. Seeing how hard everyone is trying to avoid this question only proves that when given a chance to actually try and justify their claims with evidence, they would rather do "atheist dance".
Please excuse any typos as I am now typing from my phone
Just pick one, sheesh!

I also wager 7 floobie points that this is just going to be a huge no true Scotsman. We've already gotten a small taste of it from your innuendo about Krauss.
