If you want people to respond to your posts and carrying on a dialogue with you, saying stuff like "I think Hefny is failing in his duty to educate himself in areas other than his religion," does not help.
Instead of pointing out what you percieve as faults, why not try to show and guide a person who you see lacking.
If a person does not know how to swim, just telling them that they do not know how to swim does not change anything but the relationship between the two people.
The eye rolling and demeaning of people only creates rifts, which if you are truly looking for knowledge, is not what you want.
If I wanted to learn about Scotland, I would not ask by saying, "Hey teach me about your backward, fornicating, alcoholic society." Then when someone gets offended, I just reply that I was only trying to learn.
I have pointed this out before yet your methodology of inquiry does not change.
