I'm in the process of transferring here the articles I had on another, older blog which I'm closing down. They are still relevant, showing how things haven't changed at all in the Islamic world but maybe - just maybe - have developed a little bit chez nous.
The Guardian article that I quoted from in here might have still made today the same unfounded, false claims that death for apostasy is not part of Islam that it made then. But, while it's becoming more and more obvious every day that the Muslim persecution of Christians throughout the world is the greatest humanitarian disaster of our times, and while we are in the middle of a proper, probably irreversible, ethnic cleansing of Christians in the Middle East (you can see a video about it by clicking on the link just below this post title) and the media, while pretending to ignore it, cannot possibly be totally unaware of it, the justifications given by this Grauniad hack for the horror being commited against the story's poor innocent man by reference to colonialism ("The age of classical colonialism may have passed but where once the blunderbuss came as an adjunct to the bible, today it has been replaced by the rice bowl.") - even accusing missionaries of only pretending to give aid -, or by reference to "well-intentioned desire to protect cherished beliefs", would today be considered beyond the pale even by Leftist standards. I hope.
Sunday, March 19, 2006. KABUL, Afghanistan — An Afghan man who allegedly converted from Islam to Christianity is being prosecuted in a Kabul court and could be sentenced to death, a judge said Sunday.
No, they “are not against any particular religion in the world”. Except that they consider being Christian a crime punishable by death. That’s not being against a religion, is it?
Or, look at the Guardian Online. “Don't make a martyr” is the headline, and the article by a Faisal Bodi (isn’t it a name that says it all?) says:
Sending Abdul Rahman to the gallows would indict Islam on a charge of which it is wholly innocent.By the way, the explanation for his madness could be this one, from two comments posted on Jihad Watch by the same person. One is:Nobody likes a turncoat. Whether it's a scab crossing a picket line, or a footballer joining his club's arch rivals, the consequences of defection will usually haunt them for life.
It's a cross that Abdul Rahman, the Afghan convert to Christianity, is currently having to bear.
As I noted here, the idea that Abdul Rahman is insane is a more or less clever attempt to please both the irresistable force of Afghanistan's allegiance to Sharia and the immoveable object of American presence and pressure.And the second comment is:Officials say the man, Abdul Rahman, will be released from custody soon.
Who will protect him from raging Sharia-minded mobs when he is freed?
Sarinwal Zamari may be floating this idea to extricate the Karzai government from the tight place this case has put it in. It is a common view among Muslims that only someone who is insane, corrupt or under immense pressure would convert from Islam to Christianity, so this angle will make sense to those in Afghanistan who want Abdul Rahman's blood. Likewise it will get them out of holding the trial without their having to say or do anything contrary to traditional Muslim apostasy law. This could be the perfect pirouette to allow Karzai to save face with both camps.
All you Christian lawmakers, better get used to it when it is established in America.
Oh wait, you are going to protect us from it, right?
You’d better hurry, because you haven’t said a word about the rapid spread of this insidious sect in this country.
Christians have a way of making all the right enemies just by being.
I’m glad a few people noticed, but judging from the past, no one will lift a finger to help.
A fair warning to muslims in America: Christians here won’t be pushovers. Most people I know are loaded for bear. There is nothing immoral or un-Christian about protecting one’s self or family.
I was planning on lifting my Stag 2TL.
Didn’t Oklahoma okay Sharia law? Or did they deny it. Not sure.
Isn’t it amazing that Obama worshippers can read this quote and still believe he’s a Christian. They’re all retarded.
