Congratulations for featuring on this list of honour. I knew only half of the people on the list: I will check out the other recommendations.

I reposted your text here http://www.islamofobie.nl/index.php/blog/meer/mpac_calls_me_an_expert_on_islam/ introducing it with a link to the amazing about-page of MPAC.

As an illustration of their attitude towards peace of all verses in the Quran they chose 8:61, starting with "But...".

By doing so almost it's like they cry out loud: check the context of this verse. Its in the chapter about the Spoils of War and immediately preceded by several of the most warlike verses of the entire book!
