Islamic Tolerance:

Saudi Arabia - Conversion by a Muslim to another religion is punishable by death. Bibles are illegal. Churches are illegal.

Yemen - Bans proselytizing by non-Muslims and forbids conversions. The Government does not allow the building of new non-Muslim places of worship

Kuwait - Registration and licensing of religious groups. Members of religions not sanctioned in the Koran may not build places of worship. Prohibits organized religious education for religions other than Islam

Egypt -Islam is the official state religion and primary source of legislation. Accordingly, religious practices that conflict with Islamic law are prohibited. Muslims may face legal problems if they convert to another faith. Requires non-Muslims to obtain what is now a presidential decree to build a place of worship

Algeria - The law prohibits public assembly for purposes of practicing a faith other than Islam. Non-Islamic proselytizing is illegal, and the Government restricts the importation of non-Islamic literature for distribution.

Jordan - Has the death penalty for any Muslim selling land to a Jew.

When a Chiristian is arrested and (possibly) tortured in the muslim satanist countries, I get upset - but then I analyze what we know about the case.

In this case - any any Christian who prosletyizes in these Muslim countries knows exactly the danger of their actions - otherwise they would not be there. Much as the Appostle Paul did, they put there lives on the line for their faith and I greatly appreciate and respect that.

On the other hand, what's with the supposed "Christians" who insist on not only proseltizing (which in my book is the right thing to do), but also sell alcohol - a banned substance in the Islamic countries? We can complain about the prosletyzing charges, but selling an illegal substance is not a wise way of displaying Christian values - especially when Alcohol sales and use are a debatable subject even between Christians.

We allow Islamic proselytizing here in the US - but if they step across the line and sell illegal drugs, they are criminals and subject to arrest. Why should "Christians" be any different in Muslim countries?

I support any charges Saudi Arabia wants to charge this "Christian" with that relate to the sale of alcohol. I do not support any charges relating to proselytizing.
