Misleading

Daniel,

While most of the article makes eminent sense, so much so that the wisdom of your arguments is self-evident, you have erred in including Shah Waliullah as an exemplar of enlightened thinking.

By all historical accounts, he was a bigot and a fundamentalist who had nothing but hatred towards the non-Moslems (i.e. Hindus) under Islamic rule in India.

Best.....
