And back on January 24, CAIR’s “American Muslim News Briefs” mailing contained an item, “King Hearing Witness: ‘We Are At War With Islam,’” linking to a piece entitled “Ayaan Hirsi Ali should not testify before Rep.

Gaza: Muslims throw bomb at Christian’s car for preaching Christianity
Except he doesn’t, he says. But in any case, somehow these assailants got the crazy idea that Islam forbids non-Muslims to proselytize among Muslims.

It is well known that Sharia forbids the propagation of non-Islamic religions.
