Sorry. “ The Straw .............. from the Emperor Constantine until the present, doesn’t it?” ????? I don’t get it.

You do not understandd the simple explanation of what a Strawman Argument is?

I put forth a statement describing religious nutjobs throughout History, specifically mentioning swords and torches . Position X.

You then you "presented position Y (which is a distorted version of X)" by claimimg "If you are SERIOUSLY as concerned with contemporary Christian “nutjobs” as you are with Muslims. ..... "

(Note how religious nut jobs throughout History in my position have now been replaced by you with attention whores posturing in front of a Channel 5 news camera and then compared to the entire Islamist extremist terrorist movement numbering in the tens of thousands.)

You then proceded to attack position Y which you created yourself.

After you beat the cr@p out of the Position Y strawman that you created yourself, you then pat yourself on the back for winning the argument.

That is called a Strawman Argument.

Obama resorts to them all the time.

If you can not understand that, I may as well be debating a potted plant.

Goodbye.

Islam’s actions and criptures speak for themselves and by their own words they are condemned.

Polybius, if you are not a Muslim yourself, you should read a little more about Islam and its history and perhaps you will gain a better sense of perspective.
