    In Islam you're allowed to:

    beat your wife

    marry children

    stone anyone that commits adultery

    kill people for apostasy

    Now, anyone in their right mind realizes this is not peaceful at all. Seriously, the more I research their death cult the more I think they're born insane.

    The devil - I've read the Christian bible three times, I know that. Thanks. How am I a slow learner? He was talking about Islam, not Christianity. I realize both Christianity and Islam are ridiculous, kay?

    Ask the Iranian government. Unfortunately, many countries have laws against converting from one religion to another. In Islam it is stated that "there shall be no compulsion in religion" That said, there are differences in what is culturally and legally accepted and what is religiously accepted. They are often 2 or 3 different things.

    And yes, I am a Muslim. Hope that answers the question.

    A MUSLIM is the one who believes in one God. The belief itself or the religion is ISLAM. Islam way PEACE. A true muslim is a believer of peace considering the religion itself teaches peace.

    Simple. It's not a peaceful religion. I'm an atheist but, compared to Islam, Christianity is a thousand woman-scientists hosting a gay pride parade to raise funds for world peace.

    And why did Christians slaughter 1000's of people who refused to believe in God?

    Pointing at someone else's culture and saying it has to be at the same point of development as your own is childish.

    @I saw it On Wikipedia. Replace the word Islam with Christianity and its still true. Pick up a Bible and check.

    "I've read the Christian bible three times" Slow learner are we?

    Because, just like any other religion, Islam can be twisted to improper ends. Inquisition ring any bells? Christianity is definitely (by definition of its own scriptures) a peaceful religion, but worse things were done in its name by the inquisitors than we have seen done in the name of Islam.

    Hes probably not in prison for this thing you say, but for something else entirely. The fact of his apostacy is probably a secondary factor. Check out the real story and get all the details. thats what most people do before they ask questions like that.

    for the same reason the kkk claims to be a christian organization; there is no legal way to stop anyone from claiming to be any religion. By your logic, we should lump every christian in the same category as kkk and Christian Identity members
