My dear Akbar: you can ask me about ayat al-saif but how come you do not know anything about it? So what do you know about ayat al-saif (and it is not iyat)? Hint: Read Suyuti.

As for the pre-Islamic history of Arabia what would you like to know about it? But again Muslims try to justify the absurd including the fact that the pagans of Mecca desreved the threats in Q9:5. And you know what is even more absurd? You are out to defend the religion that brutalized your ancestors. Shame.
