#1 Well, unless the ex-muzzies start beheading and blowing up people, it isn't likely that the western European leaders will do much. Bunch of spineless wimps.

#2 This is of critical importance for Islam. Once Muslisms learn that people were able to leave Islam and survive very few will remain in it.

While we are at it, I think some of the "Islamicrage boy Muslims" are just intimidated: pray publically, dress like an Arab, obsrve Ramadan, seethe on comand or else...

And the funny thing is that Ahmed can be toeing the Party line due to fear of Mahmoud the fanaticc while Mahmoud does it because he fears Ahmed. Break the chain of fear and Islam will crumble.

That is why it doesn't allow conversions to other religions.

#3 "Signing the declaration on September 11 can only be interpreted as a provocation," Noten added. "It suggests that former Muslims are innocent and Muslims are guilty."

What we have here is a failure to communicate.

#4 That statement should be thrown right back in his face.

Former Muslims *are* innocent, unless they have broken the national law, *not* Sharia Law; and Muslims *are* guilty, if they call for murder or violence against *anyone*.

Former Muslims should be like anyone else who obeys the law. And Muslims who DO NOT threaten others with violence and death *also* have the right to be treated like everyone else.

Simple. If you do not break the law, you are not a criminal. If you break the law, you ARE a criminal.

#6 it isn't likely that the western European leaders will do much.

I'm sure the Belgian gov would love thump these folks' heads.

#7 Dang it. Forgot the USS Cole attack, the twin African Embassy attacks, the Bojinka plot, the Y2K bomb plot, etc.

Ah well, you all get the drift....

#8 BA, update and finalize the list and we'll make it a separate post. It would be useful as an educational tool. You can e-mail to Fred or one of the mods if you wish. AoS.

#10 Han Noten, who is the Dutch senate's Labour faction leader, criticized his party's stance. In a commentary for Wednesday's NRC Handelsbad newspaper, he said the Committee of Ex-Muslims was "oversimplifying reality"

Wow."Oversimplifying reality". That's as impressive a kow-tow to Islam as declaring that we should ignore what Ayan Hirsi Ali says because her opinions are "colored by her life experiences".

#11 Doc, that was taken from Wikipedia (just search "terrorist attacks"). I was shocked at how many, albeit smaller, attacks go on. There are a lot of attacks listed in Columbia (FARC) too, but *obviously* the large majority of them are RoP related.

And, I only started at 9/11/01 (with a few known attacks earlier on US interests). The further back you go, the more it's "Israel only". Man, have they really opened this up world-wide.

#12 I was sooooo impressed with your memory until I scrolled down, BA. ;-) That's ok, though. I've no doubt you'll impress me again. It's what Rantburgers do, after all. And I will have a tea party soon -- I promise!

#13 THIS IS COMPLETE AND TOTAL BULLSHIT

There is no such thing as a "Right to Renounce Islamic Faith".

Even the most minute concession to this enables Islam's stranglehold upon the ummah.

PEOPLE HAVE THE ABSOLUTE RIGHT TO RENOUNCE ANY FAITH IN AN ENTIRELY UNMOLESTED FASHION AT ANY TIME THEY SO CHOOSE.

Period. End of line. Finis.

To somehow deem Islam worthy of any vengeance upon Muslim apostates legitimizes its vile slavery and mind control. There is no Right to Renounce Islam. There is only the unalienable right to pursue whatever peaceable spiritual quest that does not violate the social contract.

Islam violates the social contract on so many levels and in so many ways as to have been irrelevant centuries ago.
