Cherif Bassiouni, and Ali Eteraz assure us that Islam has no death penalty for apostasy, despite Muhammad’s words, “Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him.” Misunderstanders of this Islamic tolerance of apostasy appear to be so numerous that Maher El-Gohary is seeking asylum in France, […]

Israel warns UN: New Gaza flotilla organizers have ties to Hamas and other jihad terror groups

Qur’an-burning pastor denied right to protest in Michigan, faces trial to decide if protest can be held
Whatever you may think of Terry Jones and Qur’an-burning, this is a freedom of speech issue. If Terry Jones can be denied his right to protest peacefully because of the fear of violence from Muslims, the Islamic supremacists are already in charge and controlling the agenda. And that is, of course, their goal. There has […]

Yet Hamas-linked CAIR and others who claim this can point to no Sharia state in the history of the world that did not implement Islamic law […]

Somalia: Muslims murder convert from Islam to Christianity
Somehow these two “Muslim extremists” got the crazy idea that a Muslim who converted to Christianity should be killed. You would almost get the idea that Islam has a death penalty for apostasy, and that Muhammad’s dictum “If anyone changes his religion, kill him” was actually taken seriously among Muslims.
