Wow !! For someone to look at the World and history of Islam and see past the beautiful architecture, magnificent science, amazing medicine, elegant art, moving poetry and the "gentle dignity" of Muslim societies and see nothing more than violence requires a very doggedly determined person.

Congratulations to Mr Ibrahim for being so singularly motivated.
