Actually, Parsi. I think it is a rather appropriate analogy. Afterall, the KKK and islam share many traits. If Andak was comparing KKK with the Jihadists, I could confidently support it with Islamic scripture (Koran and hadith) as well as historical notes and some recent photos taken in London.

I wasn't aware this is a debate. Is Robert Spencer debating an Islamic scholar? What kind of mischaracterization is that? There isn't a single Muslim speaker at the event. And don't pull out Wafa Sultan, she's apostated. This has got as much to do with open debate as the symposium on Holocaust denial has to do with history. You're right. It isn't a debate. I accept I used the wrong words (conference and debate).

Either way, I haven't heard of a single Muslim scholar willing to debate with Robert Spencer except those who make websites/youtube clips with misleading titles "Robert Spencer Refuted...". And we all know how search engines work at that level.

Robert Spencer isn't looking for bridges. The very existence of Muslim-Jewish of Muslim-Christian relations reduces his book and lecture sales. I never said Robert Spencer was looking for bridges. I said YOU were.
But, you're right anyway. He isn't looking for bridges between Muslims and non-Muslims. He's trying to build an intellectual bridge between non-Muslims and Islam's ideology.
