When Muslims become Christians

There's a widespread belief that the penalty for leaving Islam is death - hence, perhaps, the killing of a British teacher last week. But Shiraz Maher believes attitudes may be softening. Saved By: Haris_ | View Details | Give Thanks
His college-age students asked ?many times,? he said, about the legitimacy of suicide bombing. Suicide bombing was justifiable against American soldiers. ?It depends on the circumstances,? he said. ?In a supermarket I will say no. Suicide bombing against American soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan, I will say yes, yes. It?s not suicide. It?s a mission, then it?s allowed.?
As an equal opportunity destroyer (of myths) I submit agnostic articles frequently. Seldom do you see sites debunking Islam. This is one that does it with humor. As with most humor, some will find it a bit offensive. Please lighten up and laugh which is the intent here.
As always, the nexus of the clash between the West and Islam is the role of women. In hailing Turkey's advance over the years as an example of non-Western modernization, the Turkish sociologist Nilufer Gole has put her finger somewhat provocatively on precisely what secularists fear might be taken away.
By Jack Kelly - Radical Islamists have been trying to kill Americans since long before the Iraq war began. There is no reason to suppose they will stop trying to kill Americans when the war in Iraq ends. But in the Democratic presidential debate in Manchester, New Hampshire Sunday night, all the candidates argued, in effect, that our troubles will

LAHORE: An additional district and sessions judge on Wednesday sentenced a blasphemy accused, Younis Masih, to death after a video jail trial. The court also fined him Rs 100,000. Factory Area police had registered a blasphemy case under Section 295 C of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC) against Masih on September 10, 2005, after he had allegedly made
The wife of an Islamic religious leader actively encouraged him to become a terrorist, a court heard yesterday. Bouchra El-Hor, 24, even told him she hoped their baby son would follow him into "martyrdom", the Old Bailey was told. She and her husband, 28-year-old Yassin Nassari, were arrested after they flew into the UK allegedly carrying
THOSE who approve of killing in the name of Islam are here among us. They are your neighbors, your co-workers, and your children's classmates. They may be your doctors, your cabdrivers and your friends.

"Your failure to meet our demands ... means that you and your people will, Allah willing, experience things which will make you forget about the horrors of September 11, Afghanistan and Iraq, and Virginia Tech," said the bearded Gadahn, addressing his comments to President George W. Bush.
This article leaves one wondering. The only reference to the Quran is a single passage which states "Allah does not forbid kindness".
"We feel that it would be a better learning environment for the children if they didn't have to worry about the judgments of others from a different religion," said Sharon Arroz. "We don't want any less of a school for the children of our Catholic brothers and sisters, but we think it would be better to separate the two groups."
This is Part III of the series of articles on destruction of Hindu Temples by Muslims. Here too, I shall continue to provide the vast amount of literary evidence available to us. This evidence is taken directly from the books written by Muslim Historians themselves who glorify the horrific deeds of their Islamic heroes.
The following is a continuation of last week's article, Destruction Of Hindu Temples By Muslims - Part I. In this article you will once again notice the Muslim Historians glorify the crimes committed by the Muslims in India. As stated and proved in my previous articles the glorification of such crimes has been recorded because the Koran promotes an
Tejo Mahalaya, a hindu temple-palace which is now known as the Taj Mahal is just one example of Islamic barbarianism as shown by me in the previous week's article-- Taj Mahal - A Hindu Temple Palace. Hundreds and thousands of monuments and buildings all over the world have been converted to mosques and other Islamic buildings. India, as I had menti
This quote really brings out Mohammed's views on women. He automatically condemns the majority of them to hell. According to him a woman's intellectual capacity is only half that of a man and that is why two women are required as witnesses as compared to one man. He was so scared of women's intelligence that he said, "a man should not walk bet
He was just killed because he was a believer, because he was someone who came from a Muslim family and became a Christian.
...he wrote to me with inside and fascinating information about the small Christian communities in Turkey and how they are reacting to increased violence and persecution by some radical elements within this country. You may remember that a Catholic priest was killed last year, then later an Armenian journalist, and finally, just three weeks ago, th
The fact is many Christians are moral people but have allowed their faith to be abused as a political issue or have allowed immoral people to do all the talking. Christianity is not incompatible with reason but Christians need to speak clearly on what they stand for and deal with hypocrites, racists, and political opportunists who are doing massive
People ask this question all the time. If they can make it to heaven, one of the rewards all Muslims are promised is 72 virgins. The number of virgins is not specified in Koran, it comes from a quotation of Muhammad recorded in one of the lesser known Hadith. ("Hadith" is an Arabic word meaning traditions.
It seems you feel compelled by "clear evidence and reason" to deny that Moses wrote the Torah at God's behest. You would rather espouse the theories of the Bible critics who see the Torah as an imperfectly edited composite of ancient and not so ancient records of Jewish mythology. You state again and again that "volumes have b
The events of the last weekend in Egypt have not been positive for the minority Christian Coptic Community. On Friday in a response to the construction of a new church in a village south of Cairo, Behma, around 300 Muslims rioted and 10 Coptic worshippers were injured. What does violence against the Copts though say about Egyptian society?
The subjection of women in Muslim societies--especially in Arab nations and in Iran--is today very much in the public eye. Lashings, stonings, and honor killings are regularly in the news. One might expect that by now American feminist groups would be organizing protests. This is not happening.
Two great books; required reading those who truly care about finding solutions to our problems in the Middle East!
There is an ongoing slander campaign against Islam, claiming that it is a religion that promotes violence and hinting that it seeks world conquest. Before you buy the malarkey that is being produced by people with their own agendas or prejudices or who are just plain ignoramuses, follow these few suggestions
Dutch writer Margriet de Moor looks at Islam in the light of Europe and Europe in the light of Islam.
Contrary to their proclaimed intentions, Christianity and Islam have both been the greatest causes of hostility in the modern world. The Tit-for-Tat Revenge Policy, which dates back to the Medieval Crusades, is still alive and kicking across the globe. With a few well-chosen words, ministers can inspire wars, simply, by invoking the presence of the
Recall the Jamil Hussein story in which the AP used a source, Capt. Jamil Hussein, to verify many stories of bloodshed and mayhem, but it was the Association of Muslim Scholars. Centcom and Michelle Malkin verified, with pictures, that there was NO "inferno" nor any proof that 18 people died there. AP used this same group to report on som
BRUSSELS, Belgium - More than 700 people were arrested across the European Union for terrorism-related offenses in 2006, and half of those arrests involved threats from Islamic extremists, a European-wide law enforcement organization said Tuesday. Muslims account for far less than half of the EU's population.
