Thats my point.. a Muslim isn't free to choose.. or even express dissent without the real threat of death looming.. don't assume that someone who is required to believe something, does. Just like under other totalitarian systems, people have an inner life that is not owned by the state or the book they must praise or die for not accepting.

One might believe that many many Muslims, would choose not to be held thrall under this horrid system. My point is that they don't have a choice, and folks like you lumping everyone together just assumes that they do.

They do have a choice.The question is if the choice is worth the consequences.

I don't lump them all together.
Just the ones doing it, the ones supporting it, and the ones lying about it.
The ones that hate it, but are too scared to do anything about it are of no consequence to the matter.
