re yet more rushdie re islamic law in article apr bnr ca rashid writes in article bu edu jaeger buphy bu edu gregg jaeger wrote i have already made the clear claim that khomeini advocates views which are in contradition with the qur an and have given my arguments for this this is something that can be checked by anyone sufficiently interested khomeini being dead really can t respond but another poster who supports khomeini has responded with what is clearly obfuscationist sophistry this should be quite clear to atheists as they are less susceptible to religionist modes of obfuscationism don t mind my saying this but the best example of obfuscation is to condemn without having even your most basic facts straight if you want some examples go back and look at your previous posts where you manage to get your facts wrong about the fatwa and khomeini s supposed infallibility why shouldn t i mind it sounds as if you are proceeding with just the sort of obfuscation you have accused me of i always preceeded my statements with it is my understanding that now i have made my claim clear with regard to the issue of both the twelve imams and with khomeini s supposed claim of infalibility after hearing your seemingly more knowledgable claim that khomeini made no such claim regarding himself i have withdrawn that portion of my statement regarding that claim however i have received no such response regarding the infallibility of the twelve imams there is nothing obfuscationist about my claims which are always made clearly i have received no such clear response regarding the twelve imams but rather abstruse references to unusual metaphysical natures and other such opaque concepts often used by people to camoflage the baselessness of their positions particularly in matters of theology these are just the sorts of concepts used by christian churches the perverting of their religion as salaam a laikum alaikum wassalam gregg
