I never understand why the Christian right can’t accept that other religions have the right to live in peace without being discriminated or harassed. Yet, again the Christian Right expresses its concern over Muslims having rights in the world. The Christian Science Monitor has condemned the event as an attempt by King Abdullah and Saudi Arabia to get a global blasphemy law.
What I don’t understand is that if Christian missionaries should be allowed to preach in Muslim countries without condemnation and no one should be allowed to take the Jewish name of Israel in vain, what would be the problem with Muslims and other religions enjoying the same protection?
Obviously, the Christian Science Monitor feels that Islam does not deserve the same protections as other religions that are more “acceptable” to specific groups of people.
Interesting how bias can be so clear in an article…. I guess the Christians don’t want to be treated like Muslims in the United States.

The backlash of his op-ed piece was enormous, and as effective in being a blasphemy law for the jews as any muslim could hope to achieve. What’s sauce for the goose…
