‘Muslim Extremism’

It is assumed that this was the consequence of Islamic conversion by the sword. I pointed out in my last article that there was no precedent Muslim conquest in several countries which were converted to Islam, such as the Maldives, Malaysia, Indonesia, and several Black African countries.
