To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the remarks by Baroness Warsi on 19 November 2013 (HL Deb, GC 400) and her Written Answer on 18 December 2013 (WA 228), what evidence they have for the statement that “the essential lesson taught by Islamic history is that extremist groups are ejected from the mainstream of Islam”.[HL4865]

It is the business of historians to determine the evidence with regards to issues concerning the history of religions. However if the noble Lord approaches the academic research with an open mind he will find ample evidence to confirm my statement.
