You want a backlash? Now this is a backlash...

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.

Pakistan - Conversion by a Muslim to another religion is punishable by death. Bans proselytizing by non-Muslims. Christians regularly put in prison for charges of blasphemy.

Indeed, and that's just a drop in the bucket!

But now, now, don't forget, we need to be tolerant towards those attempting to eradicate us and blow us to bits. We shouldn't hinder their freedom to do so!

If that last statement needs to be explained as sarcasm, then I feel sorry for you. :D

Don't forget. In Saudi Arabia, if you send someone a Christmas card, it won't arrive. You cannot wear a cross. If you show up at the airport with a bible, they will shred it before your eyes. Yet when they come here, they whine that they are treated with suspicion.
