Changing the subject. The question you raised is whether there had ever been a tolerant Muslim society. Someone replied giving Moorish Spain as an example, and your reply implied that the Moors were not tolerant. My reply was to that point only.

Yes, I asked for examples of enlightened, representative, minority-protecting western-style democracies that are also Muslim majorities. So far, the list includes 13th Century Moorish Spain. This exchange sounds like a candidate for a SNL sketch.

13th century Moorish Spain? Are you KIDDING me?
