I say conversion at the edge of the sword does not count.

You're right, but that's how Islam spread from country to country. Most people, if given a choice, would have nothing to do with it.

The only thing that kept Islam from overtaking Europe was the religious ideology of Christianity, and today's atheist Europe is no ideological match for Muslim zealots.

The only good thing about Rahman's circumstances is the bad press Islam is taking on the world stage. It shows Islam for what it is.

Indeed. The French riots were proof of this.

I continue to pray for Abdul (Both that he be acquitted, and that God protect him from the furious zealots when he is released), and I think I will write an email to Bush asking him to do what he can to save this man who is guilty of nothing but learning the Truth and accepting it.

Rubbish.

I am not the most religious but I am more than a match for any number of Muslim Zealots.
