By this i mean making it clear that only islamic scholars are able to understand islam. no matter how "simple" the statement (could be an ayah or hadith) might seem. I ask this because it pisses me off when a non-muslim quotes a problematic ayah/hadith (like the "sword" verses) and when a muslim tries to refute them by discussing the context/real meaning of the ayah, it comes off as like they are just an apologetic. Because to the non-muslim, islam can't possibly require that much brain power, so the whole muslim argument just comes off as super convoluted and pathetic. This is mainly due to muslims themselves imo. they present islam as this thing that can be understood by almost anyone with very little knowledge (this is at least the impression i get). Can you think of any solutions for this?
