You're a Moslem, PR, aren't you?
Atheist born, atheist bred.  And when I die, atheist dead!

Absolutely not. I feel insulted by suggesting it.
Unless you are joking.

I'm not going to go searching through the threads.  I don't do that.

Call it a "learned impression" about you.

I think that if I was a Muslim or an Islamophile, then Shiranu would never call me a bigot.

However, I believe that you are referring to this post:

There are no contradictions in the Quran. No Muslim will agree that there are contradictions or mistakes in the Quran. It is the word of Allah verbatim and Allah does not make mistakes.

Abrogation (Quran 2:106) means that if there are contradictions, they both are true, but the later revelations take precedence over the (chronologically) older ones.

There are really 2 books in the Quran, the older Mekkan and the later warring Medinan verses, which supersede (abrogate) the more conciliatory Mekkan verses where Muhammad was still recruiting his army.

Muslims are quoting the abrogated verses to the kuffar to fool them into believing that Islam is peace.

Favorites are Quran 2:256 (there is no compulsion in religion), Quran 5:32 (always quoted incompletely to omit important context), and not quoting the following important verse (Quran 5:33).    See here

Here I am not actually agreeing with the Quran, but mirroring the Muslim belief that the Quran is infallible.
According to Muslims it is the word of Allah verbatim and implying that it has mistakes is apostasy.

But thank you for your concern.

Though I am opposed to the KKK, despise the neo-cons, and don't vote Republican (not even split ticket), Cavebear thinks I am Conservative.

Actually, I have said it for awhile now; I think you and the fundamentalist Iman agree on far more than you disagree on. I don't think that makes you a Muslim, but you do seem to heavily agree with the worst of them. At times, it's hard to tell you apart from a radical Islamist in terms of how hardline view you take on Islam.

Baruch is a basic authoritarian.  He splits between Nazism and Extreme Libertarianism as in Ayn Rand, I think. 

When he has an honest night, he's more Nazi.  But getting the truth of what he thinks is sometimes like trying to get an egg from a rooster.  He writes like a moebius strip.

A Moebius strip?  I have more than even two sides.  Ideologues are one-sided, then can't even seem past the false dichotomy of the two-party joke.

Authoritarian ... sometimes.  And I am familiar with Ayn Rand in my youth.  But she was mostly wrong, and not a very good writer either.  What I sense she and I share, is that Romantic view of life, with heroes and such, not Marxist lumpen-proletariat, which I think you and Shiranu sense.  In short, Greek drama, and Nietzsche (however mad he was).

A Romantic view of life?  I doubt either of you do.  Unless you specifically mean "Roman" which I think would suit you well.  Dictat, etc.

I bet Ayn didn't go quite far enough...

It isn't about getting hot dates ... and Shiranu is passion itself, tres Francaise.
