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.

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.

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.

I love John Gleeson's writing style. He really has a way with words.
Gotta love that old-time religion.

Muslim clerics can wring their hands to pieces...
Someone needs educating all right, and it's not just the infidels.

Now now, we must not doubt at all the religion of Peace. After all, our troops are now being sent to defend the Iraqi Constitution that states =
NO LAW SHALL CONTRADICT ISLAM.
