Freedom is very dangerous

So says a Saudi cleric:
"The problem is that they want to open a debate on whether Islam is true or not, and on whether Judaism and Christianity are false or not. In other words, they want to open up everything for debate. Now they want to open up all issues for debate. That's it. It begins with freedom of thought, it continues with freedom of speech, and it ends up with freedom of belief. So where's the conspiracy? They say: Let's have freedom of thought in Islam...

They say: I think, therefore I want to express my thoughts. I want to express myself, I want to talk and say, for example, that there are loopholes in Islam, or that Christianity is the truth. Then they will talk about freedom of belief, and say that anyone is entitled to believe in whatever he wants... If you want to become an apostate - go ahead. Fancy Buddhism? Leave Islam, and join Buddhism. No problem. That's what freedom of belief is all about. They want freedom of everything. What they want is very dangerous.

Rather pathetic, isn't it? The cleric goes on to share his insight regarding the use of coloured underwear and how to urinate piously.

I would have thought it odd if ANY Muslim gave creed to freedoms of any kind

Hey Please add the part about colored underwear! Am I going to hell because of it?

Isn't white a color? If colored underwear is wrong, then I guess that all underwear should be transparent!

Hello Good Gentles All!

(Good to be back.)

But Said Mirhossain Nasri, the top cleric at Hossainia Mosque, one of the largest Shiite places of worship in Kabul, said Rahman must not be allowed to leave the country. (This quote relates to the Afghan muslim who converted to Christianity some time back, InFides.)

"If he is allowed to live in the West, then others will claim to be Christian so they can too," he said. "We must set an example. … He must be hanged."

In other words we can allow free choice or we will be alone. Rather exactly the way the Russians refused emigration because the gourads would have been alone in their prison.

I have always found that the best indictments against islam are those offered by its most ardent adherents.

Pax,

My, my. My typing has gone from bad to horrifying.

In other words we can allow free choice and be alone. Rather exactly the way the Russians refused emigration because the guards would have been alone in their prison.

I will try to proofread in future.

Freedom is very dangerous indeed... to the power of tyrants and their ability to make slaves of their fellow man. Small wonder the tyrants who lead Islam want to stamp out the two countries that are by far the most conspicuous representations of freedom and liberty, the United States and Israel. Is there anyone who still doubts the free world is at war with Islam?
