From Chris Doyle Sir: Patrick Sookhdeo’s absurd polemic against Islam
echoes the intolerance and language of the extremists who carried out the London attacks. He holds the entirety of Islam to account for the horrific actions of a minority in the same way that al-Qa’eda jihadis hold the entirety of the West and most Muslims responsible for endless grievances, real or otherwise.
He joins the extremist jihadis in perverting Islam, in misinterpreting and selectively quoting the Koranic verses to foster the lie that this great religion accepts mindless violence against innocent civilians. The jihadis might circulate his article for recruitment purposes, but nearly all Muslims reading this will be rather surprised that he is promoting this al-Qa’eda-like mutation of their religion.
