- A nuclear 9/11 could result in fatalities on a far greater scale.
- Pragmatically, some sacrifices may be necessary to ensure safety. We can debate the extent of those sacrifices, particularly in terms of privacy.
- Attacking citizens is a cowardly act.
- Reasons that Muslims should agree: For the global Muslim community: a nuclear 9/11 won't achieve the results some might anticipate. It wouldn't lead to a withdrawal of America or Western culture. Instead, it could provoke an even stronger response. A nuclear 9-11 would not cause America to withdraw from the world stage. We would destroy any country that has people in it that smiled on the day that America was attacked, the rest of the world would support us in any vengeance that we wanted, and our culture would not be the one that would go up in flames afterward. A nuclear 9-11 would not stop the spread of Western culture. A nuclear 9-11 would not stop the spread of women's rights or gay rights. A nuclear 9-11 would not stop the spread of democracy. A nuclear 9-11 would not accomplish any of the goals of the Muslim community.
- Countries don't need nuclear weapons as a deterrent. We will prevent one country from invading another country. Iran doesn't need to obtain them. A nuclear weapon would make them less secure, not more secure.
- While we lack examples, our platform will encourage robust discourse once fully developed. Users can challenge various arguments, further dissecting these discussions by categorizing similarities, identifying logical fallacies, and uncovering unstated assumptions. As we evaluate each statement based on its relevance, truthfulness, verifiability, logical soundness, and importance, collective and artificial intelligence will help us maintain a score-based system. This approach ensures that weaker arguments naturally fall by the wayside over time rather than being prematurely dismissed. Embracing diverse perspectives is crucial for effective dialogue.
