Yes, you missed the premise of the article - and you still have.

You originally claimed Saunders was writing about some rosy muslim past, when he did no such thing.  Your supposed examples didn't come close to saying that.

And that's not all you missed.  Of course arabs are different from Pakistanis.  The fact that Saunders said there was NO concept of muslim unity or identity until the west made it up sailed completely over your head.

I'd say you have no character left, but that wouldn't be kind.
