How am I slandering her? I'm just saying I think her method of dissemination isn't helpful. I'm not comparing her to someone like Geert Wilders, who is demonstrably wrong 95% of the time. Compare it instead to someone like Richard Dawkins, who she is friends with I think. I mostly agree with him on the facts and even on many of his views, but I think the way he positions himself in the debate is completely non-constructive.

As for whataboutism, I think it's fine to criticize Mohammed or Scripture, I just think one can find the same kinds of stories in Western history and it misses the point of the current problems and misuses a historical perspective to create a skewed image. The problem in this soundbite culture is that there is then only attention for the periods in which Islam was aggressive and not the periods in which science and literature flourished, there was peace and prosperity in their lands and so on. And I am aware that there are parts of the Koran that are very helpful to the extremists. Fundamentalists of any religion will always start interpreting that religion in its most aggressive form and Islam can do that more easily due to those parts than most religions.

Also, I can't give you any specifics that would matter since I don't mean her factual observations, obviously she knows more about it than I do, as do you probably. I just find that the way she applies her knowledge and assessments is in a charged way. That might be because she isn't given the chance to be nuanced, who knows, but that's my experience when I read/see her stuff.

Also, my problems with comparisons to Nazism are not that they are by definition completely wrong, it's that they are also designed to elicit an emotional response, especially in Western audiences, which I think is a bit of a trick to pull and can be tantamount to scaremongering and giving a wrong picture.

Lastly, I don't subscribe to the idea that Islam is conquering Europe or any sort of idea to that effect. It's nonsense. Of course we should be worried about developments in the Middle-East and in Islam in general, but the idea that there is somehow going to be an Islamic Europe is bollocks.
