"Islam and the sword"

To Seamus Dafydd Dives MacNemi

Violence was foundational to Islam and remains deeply embedded in it, my hard-hitting critique being sourced in the most authoritative Islamic documents.

I'm sorry you don't like what you read, but please don't blame me, I didn't write it, and if you're concerned for truth, rather than criticise me for quoting what Islam's most authoritative documents say about violence and its use to extend Islam, suggest to Shaji that he interacts and engages with what his prophet and his most authoritative documents say about violence against non-Muslims.

With kind regards and best wishes
