Paul Vanderklay continues to repeat his Islamophobic tropes while refusing to engage with anyone with any knowledge of Islam

 

1:23:00  What exactly would be the problem of having your failing moral and political system being replaced by a better one? PVK is trotting out the usual Islamophobic tropes ie that Islam would dominate. Shouldn't the better dominate over inferior?  

1:24:00  Ancient religions have stood the test of time, says Bret Weinstein, but PVK talks about FGM and honour killings. He expects every Muslim to be loudly condemning these practices the way someone very unreasonable indeed would expect men to loudly condemn rape every time they hear of a woman being raped. Do Shias in Iran practise FGM? No, but that is not enough for PVK. He pretends honour killings is a Muslim practice when it is the Old Testament that requires drunk and disobedient sons to be executed. If it is sometimes known to happen on the Indian subcontinent, it is not just Muslims who practise it.  

1:26:00  PVK expects guarantees of perfect practices in Islam (from whom exactly?) when heretic burning was a Christian practice. When the practice of heretic burning stopped, liberalism replaced Christianity. What lesson does PVK extract from this? That the practice of heretic burning should never have stopped? 

1:27:00  If you have a recipe book that produced perfect results when you followed it properly but stopped when you failed to follow it, who is to blame?

"Christianity is a culturally adaptive religion." This means Christianity has no principles and is just a brand to sell  your snake oil. It is after all true that Christianity has no codified principles and that it has been changing its story since its inception. Christianity began as Arian then became Trinitarian and then became Unitarian in America and is now liberal, feminist and LGBT-friendly.  

Orthodox Christianity is only "doing very well right now" because of White Nationalists who have joined it after rejecting Lutheranism in America because they considered it too too liberal. Catholicism is also rejected because it is well known for submitting to the liberal order. 

1:29:00  "Islam is a reduction of Judaism," says PVK. He also compares it to Mormonism as if it were a inferior or heretical version of Christianity. 

1:31:00  He calls the story of Muhammad "deeply Arabic" in clearly derogatory tones ie brown, non-white and unEuropean, the religion of barbaric desert dwellers etc.
