Stage 1: The Bravado – Establish authority and superiority.
Since our good and honest Muslims on this planet don’t have anything to show for these days, then they ballyhoo about Islam’s bygone era of glory and conquest. Remind the Christians of their “dark Ages” and how decadent, backward and dirty they were, and had it not been for Islam in Europe, they would likely remain that way to this day. Keep harping on the past, “we were”, “We did”, and “we taught them” are their central themes. Take credit for the European renascence. To continue with that charade, Islamists will try to overwhelm you with claim that, Islam is the universal religion, transcending all other religions in general, and Judea-Christianity in particular without a shred of evidence to support these claims.
Stage 2: The denial and blame game
When you hold their feet to the fire, by asking (where is the beef?). Please point out to me few of these massive contributions in the area of applied science left behind by Muslim scientists. Much like the Egyptians, the Greek and Roman, and later the Europeans have left behind. At most they will point out to one or two examples in Medicine or naturel science to back up their claim.
Or when asked to explain some simple attributes of Islam, and questionable behavior of its founder. They will bring you one or two of good examples (out of hundreds of bad ones), and magnify them 1000 times to demonstrate Islam or Muhammad’s own benevolence. If they know questioner’s religion, then to a Jew their response is the perennial one. “How dare you to talk back to me, or worse, question my superiority”. To Christians however, they will try to play on their emotion and established social taboos. “you are insulting me, and my religious belief. Hurting my feeling with blasphemy against Islam”. If that does not work, then they pull the “Western, the Zionists colonialism, or the Islamophobia ” trump card, to pacify their opponents.
Stage 3: The Pretension (of friendship).
At this stage, when confronted with determined foe, and told “mister, cut the nonsense, I mean business, I will hold you fully responsible for your actions.” Then they are quick to pretend to be your friend (even if they know you are Jewish and /or Israeli).
on other occasions, When Muhammad’s questionable conducts and deeds, such as his Marriage to 6 years old child, murder and looting are examined, they are quick to plaster you, and blunt such questioning, with assertion of Muslims unquestioned reverence and acceptance of all Jews and Christians prophets as their own prophets. (never mind the fact that, they trash any of their gospels brought into Saudi Arabia, by devout Jews or Christians for their own prayer)
Stage 4: Play the Victim:
When all else have failed, it is time for our Muslims “cousins” to play the victim, the oppressed by the western colonialism which ended more then 60 years ago, or the Zionists whom “stole” Arab & Muslims land.
Now days, we hear a new diatribe by these good and honest people, “Muslims in Europe today, are the Jews of WWII, facing the same fate as Jews did”. Or worse, they are quick to display the mutilated bodies of their own children on TV, during armed conflict, of which most likely their own parent had put them in harm’s way, just to play on people’s emotion, and gain sympathy.
Stage 5. The disintegration & Jihad Time:
Once they have established in their own mind the justifications for it, Then it is Jihad time baby. Let the party and music (of suicide bombing) begin. Label terror and mayhem against civilians as “liberation”, “self defense”, or “defense of Islam”. Create images of gory-going-down-with-glory. Where leaders shout into the microphone, with lots of noise & firework in background, for sole purpose to steer those young Muslims raw emotions, and elevate them high enough to be able to direct them toward who else?, the infidels.
It occurs mostly when you are tough and demonstrate to him, you are not intimidated by his hollow postures and empty rhetorics. Or when slapped hard on their cheek and told in no uncertain terms. “Mister I am up to you tricks”. Then they disintegrated and completely fall apart, and resort to violence.
