"Such polemicists are the real obstacle to our world embracing diversity and tolerance." - Umur Abdur-Rahman

Words, words, words, Mr. Abdur-Rahman.

Let's talk about deeds, deeds, deeds!

How are actual non-Islamic religions and religious people faring under actual Muslim rulers in actual Muslim countries in the real world?

Now, Mr. Abdur-Rahman, honestly answer your own question about which religion is the real obstacle to diversity and tolerance - if you can stand the answer!

I'll answer.

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.

Sudan - Conversion by a Muslim to another religion is punishable by death.
