You think it is heresy to preach nonviolence? Tolstoy gave us the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. He is a big deal here in Alabama. I admire his work as a Muslim. Do you know Shaykh Amado Bamba?
Another historical champion of nonviolence. A Muslim. Led nonviolent Jihad and established agricultural communities. Am also a student of the Islamic mystical tradition. It is my spiritual refuge.
