No surprise at all.
I had thought Madame Albright already WAS a Muslim. She certainly is anti-Israel, as iss Jimmy Carter.
Mass conversions of liberals to Islam does come with a price, though. They may no longer revert to whatever belief system they may have had before, should they become disillusioned with the precepts outlined in the Koran. That would throw them into the category of Kufir, the unbelievers or infidels, and subject to sentence of immediate death, to be carried out by whichever fervent Muslim catches them first.
There may be backsliding on Communist beliefs, and Lord knows, there are plenty of erstwhile Christians who have “looked back from the plough”. Not so with Islam. Apostasy in ANY form is not tolerated.
If this fatwah were not held over their heads, most of the adherents of the “religion” of Islam would disappear within a very few decades. Islam is not a religion, it is an ideology, more akin to the Nationalist Socialist German Workingmen’s Party that held control of Germany from 1933 to 1945, when it was utterly and convincingly smashed.
The Muslim militants have great admiration for the Arabic translations of “Mein Kampf”, as written by Adolf Hitler. Right down to the anti-Zionist rhetoric.
