How do we neutralize islamism? . Namely: aiApologetics.

If ex-muslims are telling us what led them out of Islam, we should focus on those areas:

1) Intellectual or doctrinal doubts

2) Incompatibility with modern values (e.g., gender equality, human rights)

3) Negative experiences in religious communities

4) Desire for personal freedom

5) Emotional or family conflicts

Paul’s Trials vs Muhammad’s Treasures...

Five times I received at the hands of the Jews the forty lashes less one. Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I was shipwrecked; a night and a day I was adrift at sea; on frequent journeys, in danger from rivers, danger from robbers, danger from my own people, danger from Gentiles, danger in the city, danger in the wilderness, danger at sea, danger from false brothers; in toil and hardship, through many a sleepless night, in hunger and thirst, often without food, in cold and exposure. And, apart from other things, there is the daily pressure on me of my anxiety for all the churches. -2nd Corinthians 11:24-28

To the present hour we hunger and thirst, we are poorly dressed and buffeted and homeless, and we labor, working with our own hands. When reviled, we bless; when persecuted, we endure; when slandered, we entreat. We have become, and are still, like the scum of the world, the refuse of all things. -1st Corinthians 4:11-13

We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed" -2nd Corinthians 4:8-9

I am going to Jerusalem, constrained by the Spirit, not knowing what will happen to me there, except that the Holy Spirit testifies to me in every city that imprisonment and afflictions await me. -Acts 20:22-23
