Islam is treated to harshly? They are getting a pass. Imagine if Christians ran around beheading infidels yelling "praise Jesus!"? What if Christians stoned adulterous women? Convicted women for adultry without ANY evidence other than the testimony of the husband? What if Jesus said:
" Quran 8:12, I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their fingertips off them"
or
9:29, Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya* with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.
No Ideology should be allowed a pass to our rational evaluation of basic rights, just because it has a few passages about the hereafter.

wrong to equate Arabs and Muslims with terrorism.
AND I'll bet he said it with a straight face.
To: Trupolitik
saying the world was wrong to equate Arabs and Muslims with terrorism.Y'know, Hosni's got a point here. Really terrorism should be equated with 70-year-old Lutheran grandmothers, seeing as how they're the ones blowing people up, chopping off heads, and stoning rape victims.

All other major religions except Islam have undergone modernizing, centralization, and moderation since their more barbarous beginnings.
Islam has not changed a whit in 800 years. Intractability is actually praised in Islam. The only solution is secular democracy - remove the threat of fundamentalists, allow power to reside in the hands of ordinary citizens and the religion will moderate itself.

Hosni Mubarak also said the global spread of terrorism and confusion over what causes it has led many to unfairly blame Arabs and MuslimsHe's right. It was really a Baptist on the way to a Bible Study who murdered Van Gogh.

Sadly, Islam will long be the darling of the Leftists across the world since they share a common enemy: God and His laws.

...calling for greater tolerance for all religions... This from a man rules a country where Islam is the official state religion and primary source of legislation. And where religious practices that conflict with Islamic law are prohibited. Where Muslims face legal problems if they convert to another faith. A state which requires non-Muslims to obtain what is now a presidential decree to build a place of worship.
Perhaps Mubarak is signaling his willing to hand out some of those presidential decrees so Christians and Jew can start building Churches and Synagogues. That must be it.

[2.217] They ask you concerning the sacred month about fighting in it. Say: Fighting in it is a grave matter, and hindering (men) from Allah's way and denying Him, and (hindering men from) the Sacred Mosque and turning its people out of it, are still graver with Allah, and persecution is graver than slaughter; and they will not cease fighting with you until they turn you back from your religion, if they can; and whoever of you turns back from his religion, then he dies while an unbeliever-- these it is whose works shall go for nothing in this world and the hereafter, and they are the inmates of the fire; therein they shall abide.

Mubarak Decries Anti-Islam, Christian Bias
Gee, Hosni, maybe if Islam hadn't been dedicated from the beginning by its founder to attacking Christians and Jews (and everyone else) there wouldn't be such "bias."

"Propagating these allegations has entered a very dangerous turn, which has been represented in a new wave of hatred and hostile behavior against Arabs and Muslims,"
And I suppose that Anwar Sadat was taken out by non-terrorist non-Muslims?
To: Trupolitik
Yeah, the Arabs and Muslims are being mistreated bigtime!!!
I have a good idea, let's only go after the religions and nationalities of the 19 guys who were responsible for 9-11, terrorist bombings of nightclubs, Marine barracks, and the Cole, homicide bombings in Israel, beheadings of innocent people trying to make a living in Iraq, and so on!!! No more suspicion of Muslims, we'll go after the folks who have EARNED our distrust by murdering innocent people all over the world.
Oh, wait, that would still only be Arabs and Muslims.....
