Raymond Ibrahim: Islam’s Predictability – Apostasy, Execution, and Lies

Oct 6, 2011 10:35 am By Raymond Ibrahim

As one ponders the fate of Yousef Nadarkhani, the Iranian pastor on death row for refusing to renounce Christianity, it is well to reflect that, for all the talk that Islam is perpetually “misunderstood,” it is actually immensely predictable and consistent; not only do its patterns cross time and space, but their manifestations are often […]

Raymond Ibrahim: Iran’s Blatant Hypocrisy

Sep 21, 2011 8:37 am By Raymond Ibrahim

Sudanese woman, convert from Islam to Christianity, in hiding, hunted by her Muslim family

Dec 12, 2009 11:59 am By Robert Spencer

But as everyone knows, the ex-Muslim convert to Christianity in Ohio, Rifqa Bary, has nothing, nothing, nothing whatsoever to fear from her Muslim family or from any other Muslim, and those who think she does have reason to fear are greasy Islamophobes.

Italy: Would-be convert from Islam to Christianity hangs himself

Dec 3, 2009 9:57 am By Robert Spencer

“Said was terrified of his father, who under no circumstances wanted a Christian for a son.” Sounds as if his father was a misunderstander of Islam! After all, everyone knows that there is no death penalty or any other penalty for apostasy in Islam! Isn’t that right, Mr. Kruse?

Muslim father misunderstands Islam, calls for murder of his son for converting to Christianity

Dec 2, 2009 8:44 am By Robert Spencer

As we all know from the mainstream media coverage of the Rifqa case, a Muslim father would never — never — call for the death of one of his children for leaving Islam!
