James White describes Robert Morey as stupid and dumb for calling to Nuke the Kaba'a

Regarding Robert Morey’s Comments About Nuking the Kaaba MuslimByChoice posted a video on YouTube three years ago titled, “Dr. James White called Robert Morey “STUPID”, “DUMB” AND “FOOLISH” on his Radio Show!!” Here is the video: Now, of course, what I did was call a particular statement stupid, dumb and foolish—and yes, Bob Morey made the statement. In fact, as you listen to the clip (all the video comprises is a 24 minute segment of the DL from sometime, evidently, in early 2012) you will hear me find out that in fact the statement I was talking about was, in fact, from Bob Morey. Until that point, I was not certain that it was, but folks in our chat channel tracked down the original. Anyway, I will not repeat the story here, as that is what the video is about, and it explains things better than I can. But I will summarize: 1) I consider it foolish, and yes, dumb, to say that nuking the kaaba would do anything other than unify Islam in a way that nothing else ever could. It would not destroy Islam, or even materially impact Islam. As it is, the fifth pillar cannot be fulfilled today anyway (there are more Muslims in the world than could ever make Hajj even if they wanted to). So the idea that nuking the kaaba would have anything at all to do with the continuation of Islam is just dizzyingly silly. 2) I likewise addressed the behavior of Robert Morey in his debates with Shabir Ally and Jamal Badawi. I explained that the reason I have never read Dr. Morey’s works on Islam is due to the fact that I was so taken aback by his treatment of Shabir Ally in their debate which I first listened to in 2005. I just didn’t think I would find what he had to say relevant in light of what I heard in that debate. I believe to this day that Dr. Morey owes both Shabir Ally and Jamal Badawi an apology for his behavior in those encounters. I stand by these positions, and see absolutely no reason whatsoever to apologize for taking the stance that I have. Now, Dr. Morey claims, in comments sent to me from his FaceBook page, that “I contacted his ministry three times trying to get his side. He never responded.” I have asked Rich to do a thorough study of all received correspondence from our website. The last we had from Dr. Morey was from 2003, as I recall. We have no documentation of any attempt at contact from him on this issue. At all. http://www.aomin.org/aoblog/index.php/2015/03/07/regarding-robert-moreys-comments-about-nuking-the-kaaba/
