#2 "Mind numbing" BS. If a law is wtrong you resist it. Problem is muslims are told they must submit. If you want freedom you have to move to a non muslim society and stay away from Islam.

#5 Welcome... to the real Islam Sarinah. Dont you love it? Didn't you realize that 'Islam' does not mean 'Peace' as they would like you to think but 'Submission'!

Unfortunately conversion (from Islam) can mean a death sentence. Resistance often means beatings, rape, and disfigurement.

Canada, Europe, -- this is YOUR FUTURE!

#6 CF, EUrope looks almost like you just can stick a fork in it. Canada goose is getting cooked too, but not there yet. I suppose before well done, it would split apart, the western wing still able to fly.

#8 yet another illustration of the fact that the most numerous victims of Islam are muslims.

#9 "I donât know what crime I had committed," she said, spitting out the words with bitterness. "I feel helpless and completely violated."

I believe that, under Islam, the crime you committed is called "being born female".

Not in Malaysia. I've never read about anyone being killed for apostasy in Malaysia. Jailed, yes. But not killed. As far as reactions from family members go, I have read that the common reaction is shunning.

Malaysia is pretty Islamic, though - I saw a lot of head-coverings there during my last swing through Southeast Asia. I would venture to say that they're pretty religious, but don't get murderous about it. In terms of religious freedom, Malaysia appears to be a pretty relaxed place - un-Islamic items like alcoholic beverages and pork products are readily available. Also, despite Islam's prohibition on gambling, Genting Highlands, Southeast Asia's version of Atlantic City, happens to be located within a short bus ride of the Malaysian capital. Malaysia may actually represent the Sin Capital of the Muslim world.
