#1 Actually, the WaPo is the true Islamophobic here assuming we define Islamophobia as

"so fearful of being stabbed, blown up, bombed, etc., by devotees of Islam, that one is unable to print, publish or speak truthfully about the violence, intimidation and discrimination practiced by the followers of Islam"

#2 Being a Christian means rejection of other religions. Having proselyte obligations to recruit and exemparies like Paul of Tarsus, means that the falsity of other faiths, must be spoken to. Don't critics of the arab murder cult get equal benefit of law?

Oh dear, Albert Slinesing7956. You have missed the entire point of Mr. Ibrahim's blog post and the essay that inspired it, haven't you? Going backwards: on a private blog, as in a private house, acceptance and rejection are at the option of the property owner. The law does not enter into it as it would in a public space. There is no freedom of speech on private property, except at the whim of the owner.

Second, neither Mr. Ibrahim nor the essayist were engaging in proselytizing or even witnessing -- a much more acceptable behaviour -- but in laying out the facts of the situation while abjuring the false equivalence that has been the left-wing party line for entirely too long.

Finally, experience in Africa and the Muslim world demonstrates that Christians win converts by living the love they preach, not by direct proselytizing. Proselytizing only annoys people because it is a broad-brush approach... and so many of those who choose to proselytize are sadly ignorant of more than a few memorized verses and explanations.
