The persistence in some folks here believing that pro is not who he claims to be is truly amazing.
No one has produced one shred of evidence to support these extraordinary accusations. You guys really have your heads in the sand, don’t you? You just can’t accept that someone could actually reject Catholicism and consider embracing Islam.
Well, get over it. This is the real world, where intelligent and well-intentioned people make all sorts of mistakes all the time.
Not to take away from the point of the OP, with which I thoroughly agree, BTW.

Well, Contarini, get over it. This is the real world, where deceptive people attempt to deceive. I most definitely can believe that someone could leave Catholicism and consider embracing Islam. But you know something? One would expect, if it was reality, to hear some tiny remnant of Catholic ways of thinking, particularly when, as he has done, he sometimes says he is “considering” leaving Catholicism. In Pro there are none at all. That strikes me as suspicious. When someone is so fanatically Islamic as to assert, as Pro did, that there was an “understanding” between Israel and Hezbollah that Hezbollah would kill Israeli civilians, thus relieving Hezbollah of responsibility for that totally immoral action, that tells me deceptiveness is afoot. When one defends absolutely everything Islam ever did or does, and affirms everything in its belief system, without a single exception, then that person IS a Muslim, not one “considering” becoming Muslim.
The assertion that he is “considering” becoming Muslim, therefore, strikes me as deceptive. When one mounts an argument, then, when shown wrong by someone, abandons it and changes the subject, that strikes me as deceptive. When one attacks the sources of another; saying they are “discredited”, then refuses to demonstrate how that source is “discredited”, that strikes me as deceptive. When one blames victims of crimes like murder, that strikes me as deceptive. (The law enforcement classic) When every Islamic excess is denied or excused or justified with specious, preposterous arguments, that strikes me as deceptive. And when one considers that, in Islam, it is considered just fine to deceive “infidels” in order to advance Islam, and when it could not be more obvious that Pro’s sole and only mission here is to attack Christianity and disturb the faith of others and, in the process, makes false assertion after false assertion to do it, then I don’t think I am the one who has his head in the sand, pardner.
