- forgot to add that the guy said that majorly people who hate congress are the ones hating Muslims.
And I was like "So let me understand , you've been assuming this whole time that my criticism of Congress comes from hating Muslims?
That's why you called me 'anti-Muslim' and 'right wing.' Because you've already decided that anyone who criticizes Congress must be doing it for bigoted reasons.
I've told you repeatedly: I judge individuals by their actions, not their religion. You've chosen not to believe me. That's not debate, that's literally prejudice.
Now you say 'majority of people hate Congress because they hate Muslims.' That's not an argument. That's a smear. You're doing exactly what you accused me of , dismissing valid criticism by attacking the critic.
So here's my question, and I want only yes or no:
Do you believe that criticizing Congress's anti-Hindu, anti-national foundation is the same as 'hating Muslims'?
If yes, then you're saying any critique of Congress is bigotry. That's clearly not a position that's a wall. And there's no point continuing If no, then you owe me a clear withdrawal of your 'anti-Muslim' accusation.
Either way, I stand by that I'm not anti-Muslim. And if you think being against Congress = anti-Muslim, then your 'nuance' and 'dimensions' are only there to see Congress in good light. Because that's what this is, a dismissal without evidence.
Those are your only two options. Pick one.
Also, you said 'I'm condemning both' and 'both are enablers.'
But you only said that after hours of dodging.
Before that, you called Congress 'cunning,' their rise 'respectable,' and their tactics 'just dirty politics.' You accused me of being anti-Muslim for pointing out what they do.
So here's my question: Weren't you enabling Congress this whole time? Not intentionally, but by softening, deflecting, and refusing to condemn them clearly, weren't you doing exactly what you're now accusing 'both' of doing?
And saying 'both are enablers' is false equivalence. Congress's foundation is anti-Hindu and anti-national to the core. That's not the same as BJP having flaws which I've acknowledged multiple times. Putting them on the same level is exactly the softness I've been calling out.
And by your logic, if criticizing Congress makes me 'anti-Muslim,' then doesn't criticizing BJP make you 'anti-Hindu'?
I don't believe that, obviously. Because criticizing a political party isn't the same as hating a religion. That's my point.
But you're the one who made that equation, not me. So apply it consistently.
You assumed I was anti-Muslim, so you dismissed my criticism and enabled Congress's behavior. Now you say you're condemning both. Which one is it?"
He literally said "yuh I read"
Excellent! You argued perfectly. The way you dissected his logical fallacies and used his line of reasoning to construct your rebuttal was genius!
