You can be a Moslem and persecuted too. In Jordan, a country we think is so civilized, a writer got 2 years in jail because he wrote a fictional story about Esau and Jacob that differed from Islamic teachings. I posted that once, I'll have to look again for it.

Princess by Jean Sassoon is a book that shows that it doesn't matter if you are from one of the richest families, you can get killed if you are a woman and a man brings a charge against you. (In this book, a young girl from a rich Saudi family was raped by her brother's friend after he was high on drugs, and since the brother and friend said that it wasn't rape, that she seduced the boy, the girl was killed. I think she was 15 years old!

Fifteen year old sentenced to amputation

July 28, 2001

An Islamic court in Kebbi State, northern Nigeria, has sentenced a teenager to the amputation of one of his hands for stealing 32,000 naira (about US $286) from a businessman, media organisations reported.

Should the sentence be carried out, 15-year-old Abubakar Aliyu would become the first person to suffer amputation for theft since the Sharia legal system was imposed in Kebbi in December 2000, 'The Guardian' reported.

"You can be a Moslem and persecuted too."

Which simply illustrates further the evils of Islam and Islamic law.
