Worldview, theology, philosophy, not person or persons


This book review continues...

WALLACE TOM Jr. (2015) Refuting Islam, The Christian Patriots Guide to Exposing the Evils of Islam, Bellingham, Fundamental Publishers.

Chapter Six: Divide and Conquer

Mr. Wallace explains that the religion under discussion is Islam. (45). The people are Muslims. (45). Mr. Wallace makes this distinction on his Fortress of Faith, radio program, as well. A Muslim is a submitted one, and Islam means submission, surrender. (45).

They are not the same. In other words, to intellectually, theologically, philosophically critique Islam as a false religion and false worldview, is not the same as criticizing individual Muslims, those within Islam.

The author reasons that objective arguments are required to critique Islam. (46). To set aside emotions (46) in regard to any Muslim persons and to review factually, the doctrines of Islam. (46).

God willing, I attempt to take an objective (object) as opposed to subjective (subject) matter favouring facts or feelings in regard to academia, intellectual issues, worldview, theology, philosophy.

Examples:

Subjective

'I often prefer the more landscaped British topography to the more natural Canadian topography'.

Objective

'It is documented that Canada has more total area (land and water), than does the United Kingdom'.

I do not embrace Islam as I do not hold to its worldview, its theology and philosophy; it is not because of my views of the ethics or morality of any Muslim or Muslims.

Worldview, theology, philosophy, not person or persons is the key is this type of academic review.
