I've no idea which part of all this is true, and which isn't. All I know is that when folks like nopardon go to such lengths to debunk what they cannot rationally disprove, it just makes me all the more curious why there's such a rush to discount what we simply do not know yet for certain.
I’m with you. When something like this goes down, Islam goes right to the top of the usual suspects list until proven otherwise.
So far, nothing has been proven otherwise.
