Is Islam Incompatible With Civilization?
This morning, Instapundit observes:
I WAS A BIT SLOW to jump on the story of Abdul Rahman, the Afghan Muslim who converted to Christianity and now faces a death penalty, because I was afraid it would be a rerun of the Dubai Ports story fiasco. But it seems to hold up, and it’s a disgrace. Civilized countries permit freedom of religion. Uncivilized countries kill people for their beliefs. This will simply provide more ammunition for those who believe that Islam is incompatible with civilization.
Indeed. Locked and loaded.

Muslims Do Not Tolerate Christians
It looks like all the blood, sweat, and tears that went into freeing Afghanistan have no bearing on how the Afghanis act toward Christianity. An Afghan man, Abdur Rahman, is on trial for converting from Islam to Christianity and could face the death p…

Religion of Peace update:
Sounds like a Muslim version of Hotel California: you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.

Of course, in California, Muslims can leave their religion.

Abdul Rahman must be freed!
Still more on Abdul Rahman, on trial in Afghanistan for converting to Christianity. The Political Pitt Bull (via Michelle Malkin) has a video of Dubya finally giving a speech but unfortunately delivering it very weakly. Denmark is showing much better…

I don’t understand this quote at all. I wonder if Instapundit was slow to jump on the Support Denmark story? Why would anyone not immediately give the benefit of the doubt to a Christian in a Muslim country where it’s common knowledge that Christians are murdered (usually WITHOUT a trial) for converting, their wives raped, their children killed and their houses burned down? What’s the connection between the Dubai port story and this?

Are Christians being murdered in Afghanistan because of their religion?
