MPs of Kuwait become Islamophobic and wanted to ban Churches and Temples


People who cite sacred Islamic law on places of worship of other faiths are labelled Islamophobic - having and creating unreasonable fear of Islam. With out ever offering evidence contradicting what Islamophobes say about Islamic laws, these sly Islamist spokesmen and their infidel helpers among media and secular intellectuals say Islamic law and secularism are compatible and Islamic law is much better than present day secular laws  in protecting religious minorities.

And Indian middle class readily believe such lies especially when they come from mouths of mafia henchmen in Bollywood.

But actual Islamic law neither allows construction of new places of worship nor allows infidels to repair and renovate the existing ones .... still, you see, Islam teaches tolerance.

Kuwaiti MPs call for ban on construction of churches  
{{{
A Kuwaiti parliamentarian is set to submit a draft law banning the construction of churches and non-Islamic places of worship in the Gulf state, it was reported at the weekend. 
Kuwaiti Member of Parliament (MP) Osama Al-Munawer announced on Twitter he plans to submit a draft law calling for the removal of all churches in the country. However, he later clarified that existing churches should remain but the construction of new non-Islamic places of worship should be banned..........

'Truly Asia' aka multicultural Malaysia can not understand that Islam professes freedom of religion!!


With more than 55% of population of Malaysia being Muslim, constitution of Malaysia has two sets of laws: one for Muslims and another for Non-Muslims.

And there are no prizes for guessing that set of laws for Non-Muslims is completely discriminatory when compared to laws for Muslims besides the obvious fact of Malaysia declaring Islam as its official religion. Muslim leaders of Malaysia openly support special privileges for Muslims and deride those who question this kind of institution of 'legalized' discrimination.

One aspect of all this is freedom of religion and freedom of conscience. By law, all ethnic Malays are declared Muslims and they have no right to convert to other religion (to be more accurate, a Muslim has to get permission from a Sharia court to change his religion and Sharia law sanctions death penalty to Muslim apostates; till now, there is no case of a Sharia court allowing a Muslim to change his identity.) But others can convert to Islam. Similarly, Muslims can proselytize but not others leading to ridiculous claims by Muslims i.e if a Muslim has converted to Christianity then he was enticed by Christians and if a Non-Muslim converted to Islam then he has seen justice in Islam. Only Muslims are capable of bragging about justice even in institutionalized discriminatory system.

Like sharia - which controls every aspect of Muslim's life - be it political, social, religious and legal - Malay's law too invades and interferes with every every aspect.

The strangest (more importantly it is very cruel) being how Muslim officials declare Non-Muslims as Muslims and seize their children. And following case illustrates this:

Federal Court avoids deciding on right to religion of choice.        

One can read also this kind of discrimination from here and here.

P.S. Malaysian Muslims out to stop 'the challenge of Christianization'  

Iranian court sentences a Muslim woman for converting to Christianity


Although authorities have cited other reasons like anti-Islamic activities and anti-state activities for her arrest, charging and punishment, the real reason is that she converted to Christianity as this is not the first such case nor will not be the last in Iran

Two years imprisonment is the punishment!!

But Islam pronounces death penalty for apostates (those who leave Islam to other faiths) as Prophet Mohammad, founder of Islam, said,"Kill any one who leaves Islam...".

Incidentally, all major Islamic schools thought in Sunni Islam and Shia award death penalty to Muslim apostates. Now is it that all these schools misunderstood Koran and its peaceful message of 'No compulsion in Islam ......' and 'Your religion to you and my religion to me' so profoundly.

Iranian Christian convert sentenced to two years in prison
{{{
A Christian convert whom security authorities arrested in her home was sentenced to two years in prison by the Revolutionary Court in Tehran. 
According to reports sent by reporters of Iranian Christian news agency, Mohabat News, Ms. Leila Mohammadi, a Christian convert who resided east of Tehran, was sentenced to two years of imprisonment after enduring 5 months of uncertainty in notorious Evin prison. 
Her trial was held on 18 January in Revolutionary Court in Moalem street where she was charged with "collaboration with foreign-dependent groups, broad anti-Islamic propaganda, deceiving citizens by formation of what is called a house church, Insulting sacred figures and action against national security." However she was acquitted of collaboration with foreign-dependent groups because the judge believed she had done that unintentionally. For the other charges she was sentenced to two years in prison and the ruling was delivered to her. 
After the verdict was issued knowledgeable sources reported that her attorney announced that the case was sent to the high court of Tehran province to be reviewed. 
Leila Mohammadi, was arrested after a number of security agents raided her home on 30 July, 2011 at 10:30 P.M. in Kianshahr town, east of Tehran. The agents thoroughly searched her house and also confiscated some of her belongings. 
Ms. Mohammadi was taken to Horr custody center which belongs to the Iranian police forces. From there, she was transferred to Evin prison. On 28 December 2011, she was released on a bail of 150,000 USD after 74 days in harsh conditions in solitary confinement in Evin prison.
It is being reported that some other people were also arrested in relation to this case. According to this report, some days after Ms. Mohammadi's arrest, another person called Parviz G. was also arrested by security agents. Again, in this case they thoroughly searched Parviz G's house and seized his belongings including his computer. He was freed after spending three days in Evin custody center and being subjected to interrogations and signing a disclaimer. It seems that his arrest was related to evangelical activities of his wife "Masoumeh" who was linked to the case of Leila Mohammadi.

The freedom of worship in Islam!! Saudis arrest 35 Christians because they were praying in their houses


Sure, Saudi Arabia, the birthplace of Islam and cradle of Islam, misunderstands Islam and gets Islamaphobic too! Because Islamists in sheep clothes accuse people like me as Islamaphobic for saying there is no freedom of religion in Islam.

Media and politicians continue to label critics who say truth about Islam and that Islam is supremacist as Islamaphobes and no one really cares or questions such practice by Saudi Arabia.

The bigger point people miss is that Saudi Arabia spends Billions of dollars in construction of mosques, Islamic centers and other Islamic infrastructure in infidel majority countries for proselytizing. Could this be a double standard? We call it Islamic supremacism.

News of Christian imprisonment in Saudi only now reaching U.S.
{{{
Thirty-five Christians have been jailed in Saudi Arabia for worshiping in their own homes according to a recent report. The news only surfaced this week that the Christians have been imprisoned for over a month.

Jonathan Racho of International Christian Concern says it is no wonder that Christians there worship in their homes because of the danger they face.

"In Saudi Arabia there is no church," says the ICC spokesman. "There is no other place of worship other than mosques -- so the Christians in Saudi Arabia only gather at their private homes to worship. And when they worship, as you can see in this particular example, they could also be arrested."

Racho was able to talk with one of the female prisoners by phone and explains that prisoners are suffering because of lack of proper medical attention. "They told me that especially the male prisoners have been assaulted by the Saudi officials," he shares.

One of the prisoners told Racho that a Saudi official insulted them by telling them they are non-believers, animals, and supporters of America.

He adds the Christians are waiting for justice, which to them means their release from prison and the ability to worship freely.

A Christian in Algeria imprisoned for 5 years for sharing his faith with a Muslim


Here, I just keep asking for an example of a Muslim majority country that is secular and democratic. Sure, some ignorant people will come up with 2 or 3 names but a simple google check on these give a  contradictory situation existing on ground. It is pertinent to recall that OIC (Organization of Islamic Countries) - a representative body of 57 Muslim majority nations - declared in the year 1991 that their source of laws will be Sharia law and Sharia law will be the ultimate arbitrator in resolving issues. Sharia law effectively bans propagation of any other faith, construction or reparation  of churches or temples and celebration of non-Islamic festivals in public etc.

In line with this kind of philosophy, Algeria shuts down 7 churches and imprisons a Christian because he was sharing his faith with a Muslim (here).
{{{   
Washington -- International Christian Concern (ICC) has learned that an Algerian Christian was sentenced to five years imprisonment for blasphemy in Oran on Wednesday after sharing his Christian faith with a neighbor. The verdict came days after authorities forced the permanent closure of seven Protestant churches in Algeria's Béjaia province.
Siagh Krimo was charged by the Criminal Court of the Djamel District in Oran, who based their decision on Article 144 bis 2 of the Penal Code which criminalizes acts that "insult the prophet and any of the messengers of God, or denigrate the creed and precepts of Islam, whether by writing, drawing, declaration, or any other means." Krimo has ten days to appeal the sentence.
Krimo, who is married with a nine month old child, was arrested on April 14, along with another Christian, Sofiane, after sharing his Christian faith with a neighbor. Sofiane was released soon after the arrest, while Krimo was detained for three days. Krimo was known to hold weekly prayer services at his home, which Algerian Christians suspect were being closely monitored by the police........
One can read the full report from above given link.

These same Islamic nations spend Billions of Dollars for propagation of Islamic faith in infidel majority countries like USA, Europe and India etc.. They sponsor construction of mega mosques and Islamic centers - supposedly cultural but the real purpose is conversion - in all most all non-Muslim majority nations.

If ever one questions this one way traffic, so called Muslim reformers and their non-Muslim apologetics come up with bizarre arguments in Islam's defense ranging from 'Islam followed by all present day Islamic countries is not real Islam' to 'this is because of arrogance of petro dollars'.

After 1400 years, Muslim majority states do not know about their true Islam!!!
