Because, as the vulgar meme states, change Muslim to Jew or Islam to Judaism and see if your rhetoric seems nazi-ish... It's pretty telling in some ca...

Moreover the fact that Cartesian doubt founders on its own petard and is only "saved" by a ludicrous "proof" for god's existence. Descartes is a great...
