While I agree with the points made by your correspondents (Letters, 17 July) about the huge contribution Islam has made to the sum of human knowledge, the examples were all from the flowering of Islam in the middle ages. What Boris Johnson fails to make clear is that it is, sadly, present-day Saudi-led Wahhabi Islam which is sending some Muslims back to an illiberal version of the religion which would never have produced the contributions so rightly praised on your letters page.

• Congratulations on your series: “What Kind of a Bastard is Boris?” by Anyone Who Ever Knew him. It is keeping me going until Monday, when I expect to lose the will to live.
