Response to Raquel's message

Dr Pipes, I thank reader Raquel for highlighting some examples of Islamic bigotry. Israel was not the only victim of this religio-political expansionism. The first victims were in Mecca and Madina. It expanded outward from there to Europe, North Africa, the then Persia and India. Islam's perpetual refusal to not separate religion from politics inflicts harm upon both the religion of Islam and the politics of Islam. It makes them both losers.
