Default Re: 'Islamophobia' Used to Crush Muslim Dissent,

Actually, substantiating is basically the same thing as proving. You're asking me to establish with proof ("substantiate") that something isn't there, which is ridiculous
Saying something isn't there, is based on observation, not tangible "evidence". Since I haven't observed them ever addressing the issue of anti-semitism being used to "silence dissent", then as far as I'm concerned, they haven't. If they haven't, then they've obviously turned a blind eye to it.
The fact that you are not aware of something is not in itself justification to claim it doesn’t exist. You went beyond claiming that you were not aware of such writings , you foolishly as ever claimed that such writings did not exists (It's funny and ironic, how they denounce "Islamophobia" accusations supposedly being used to crush dissent, while turning a blind eye to "anti-semitism" accusations being used for the same purpose) now as usual you are trying to shift your ground rather than admit that you were wrong to make such a claim, nothing new there

Quote:
If you claim that they have, or have evidence of it, then stop asking people to prove negatives (or establish it with proof) and show it, as the burden of proof would be on you.
Unlike you I do not make claims I cannot substanciate

Quote:
But, I doubt you have anything to share with us. You just want to argue about nothing again, for the sake of arguing, as usual

You're such a troll.
Well if you call making false statements nothing, then I ask who's the trol

Quote:
If you were to claim that you've never killed someone, would you be able to substantiate that claim? And, more importantly, should you be expected to?
Do you not understand the difference in making a claim about others and ones self

Quote:
You just made a claim about me, so substantiate it.
What claim?

Quote:
Not really, since the number of times you've made it (without proof), only works against its credibility and yours.
Oh dear once again I have to explain the obvious, there a difference in making a claim and expressing an opinion

Quote:
If you were just using it as a buzzword in an attempt to undermine me (along with all your other snide remarks), that would actually be more understandable, than if you intended it to be taken seriously
Hem, you seem to take it very seriously
