"While this sanctimonious gabfest was going on, 40-year-old Abdul Rahman was sitting in an Afghanistan jail cell facing possible execution for the capital offence of converting to Christianity. "
Well put.

While this sanctimonious gabfest was going on, 40-year-old Abdul Rahman was sitting in an Afghanistan jail cell facing possible execution for the capital offence of converting to Christianity. For those paying attention, this is everything you need to know about Islam.

Almost 1400 years old. The Hijra, considered by many as the official founding year of Islam, was in 622 AD.

Second, if Islamic law is cited as the basis for killing a man for converting to Christianity, then, according to our way of looking at things, it is our right indeed, for some their Christian duty to criticize, condemn, or mock Islam, or at least that particular interpretation of Islam.Therein lies the rub of this battle of ideology. I would say a clash of civilizations, but someone that does not recognize the inalienable right to speech I do not consider civilized.

Muslims can argue that theirs is a religion of peace and people like me will try really hard to see it that way. But others will not. They believe, after reading the Qur'an and observing its application around the world, that Islam is a religion committed to violence against non-Muslims. That is their opinion, arrived at by using their own powers of deductive reasoning. According to our way of looking at things, it is their right to think that way. Put me in the second camp. islam is a death cult and represents the institutionalization of hate and evil.

If someone feels the need to resort to violence when their religion is made fun of, that's their problem, not the problem of the person who did the mocking.
South Park makes fun of my religion all the time, and I still watch and enjoy that show.

The article said -- "Muslims can argue that theirs is a religion of peace and people like me will try really hard to see it that way. But others will not. They believe, after reading the Qur'an and observing its application around the world, that Islam is a religion committed to violence against non-Muslims.

If any Muslim tries to tell you that -- they're practicing Takeyya and also using the Doctrine of Abrogation.
Know those two things and that's all you need to know about Islam. They'll lie to your face until they get to the point where they can cut your head off. And that's the truth.

Do you know that most US children read in their history texts that Mesopotamia was the BIRTHPLACE of CIVILIZATION? Guess they don't follow with 'for about 600 years'.

I'd just like ask a question, and I know that this will be controversial but I really am curious what your views on this will be: Given the current state in Afghanistan, now that we can all see what these people are like, would you be willing to rethink what Reagan did in helping them fight the Soviets? Because here's the thing, I have always thought that was a mistake. I think that Reagan was wrong. I think that the world would be better off if we had left them to the soviets. This - in addition to the fact that arming them covertly the way Reagan did was potentially illegal.
