I use scholarly sources, such as Bernard Lewis, the foremost Middle East historian.
You'll never even come close to being able to debate me by using discredited sources.
I'll just squish you like a bug.
Discredited by whom?
discredited by me'em.
Bernard Lewis is a scholarly source. Yours, not so much.
