For Akbar: The devil and Mr. Akbar part quatre!

So my dear Akbar. You are wrong. I have never been a Muslim and will never want to be one even if I'm threatened by the sword as the pagans of Mecca were. And do you know why? Because as the Pope indicated Islam is violent and was _spread by the sword_, it is irrational, it is anti-human, anti-reason and the doctrine of holy war cannot be the will of a rational God.

I study Islam the enemy of our civilization here in the west and insha'rabb it will be defeated.

You? You defend the religion that brutalized your ancestors. Shame.

Now you have an example where Islam was spread by the sword (the pagans of Mecca). I'm still waiting for your answer, and I will not go away.
