You say "The fair-minded traditions of Islam ? I can't believe those words came from you ! After all this time as a scholar of Islam ? Are you trying to be outstanding by being generous to a falt ?

I've read the Koran and I am disgusted that a doctrine like that should ever be accepted as "fair" by people of the modern society in the fee world. . "Fair" is a laugh. Please reconsider . When it comes to religions and it's abuse of human rights and freedom they are certainly not up to standard in today"s civilization..

Daniel Pipes replies:

It's important not to be dominated by the present. Through most of the past fourteeen centuries, the Muslim world was a more just and stable place than the Christian world.
