Muslims really have the status of victimhood perfected to a fine art...there must be a mandatory class at mosques and Islamic schools, one that infidels don't know about but are affected by all of the time. One Muslim man accuses a Christian woman of blasphemy against 'the Prophet' and she is arrested because if she isn't arrested, her neighbors won't be able to help themselves in their grief and outrage and they will kill her.(all members in good standing of the religion of peace) So, the police did the woman a favor. The Christian woman and her husband are the real victims, of course, of a Muslim who will probably take over their business without any compensation. Blasphemy is like Muslim rape..the man is the victim because an evil woman (any woman without a burqa and probably a lot with a burqa too) tempted him and he couldn't help himself. Then, there is the whole Victimhood, Inc. going on in the West by Muslims. Incredible! What is even more incredible is that my grandchildren might have to be subjected to this insanity as a permanent way of life.

This defense of the Burqa will find female apologists of the Abu-Lughod variety, with her "portable seclusion" paean to the burqa, in this country as well. Nothing is too absurd for those people intent on protecting and defending and explaining away parts of Islam that they would not tolerate, for one minute, if it were coming from Christianity or anything but Islam.

Will they make a law like this in the UK they always preach how Jesus of the Bible was not put on the cross and just a man not the son of God and yet the whole of mankind's history was Islamic when no one can find Muslim or Islam as a word that was used by history predating Mohammad.

But apart from the Koran Insulting every other faith by naming openly about which religions and prophets being false and Jews and Christian Infedels to be rid of then I think we in the West could also treat them as they treat their own minorities. Their extreame reason is expression to cover up anything other than Islam but in the West it's version of security is seeing if bombs and swords are being exploited by the freedoms we give them. Not fair really she must have been so extream ' Jesus is the lord not Allah' Oh what horror in the faces of demons. So like Jesus she was arrested it's so accurate the Bible tells of mans' nature even now.

Let us say she was clearly heard hurling insults outside of a mosque as the report states. Fine. She would be no different from the Christians(and martyrs) of the early days, up through the 4th-5th century; who turned an empire on it's ear (Rome) through non-violent resistance, in the face of death, because they would simply not renounce the faith. Such courage,on pain of death, is to be commended. One can believe in Christ's divinity of not, he himself said he would bring division, but to completely deny his historically documented death,(say nothing of his resurrection) despite not only the gospels,but independent accounts of Roman historians and others, is the height of prideful arrogance and was the first and foremost inconsistancy I ever discovered with islam or islamic "thinkers."
