Sunny, I do not accuse you of intentionally lying about specific facts; but if you believe what you have told me, then you have BEEN LIED TO.
American women in our armed forces, on duty in Saudi Arabia, have been PHYSICALLY ATTACKED--and by MOBS, not just "one or two bad apples"--for driving motor vehicles. American soldiers over there are told that they MUST NOT be seen carrying a Bible.
I will believe the report of THOUSANDS of my country's soldiers before I believe one boy telling me it's all "misconceptions." Fundamentalist Muslim regimes DO deny freedom to other beliefs; that is FACT, not opinion. It is also FACT, not opinion, that Christian nations quit that kind of injustice long ago, and ALL Christian nations grant freedom of religion to Muslims.
If Islam is true, it should not be afraid of equal competition.
