Who says Christians are mistreated in Islamic countries?

Sarcasm that may be misplaced.

A lot of Christians are killed in Islamic countries. And all are subjugated.

Not the ones that keep it to themselves, behind closed doors. It's the ones that flaunt it; wearing crosses, or two Christians praying with each other in public.

Their innocent of being Christian. They're doing nothing wrong, then Christian predators come to convert them. They are targeted and recruited by Christians and turned into Christians. They are led into a lifestyle of that sin.

Don't forget to mention the threads on MuslimForums.com that promote Christianity :

Do not promote** Christianity on Muslim Forums. Christianity can only be discussed, without promotion, in Muslim Communities and Faith Groups. Christianity may also be discussed in the Recovery and http://www.christianforums.com/f792/Ask an Imam forums solely for the purpose of seeking support with struggles overcoming attraction to Christianity, and Christian issues.

**Promotion is defined as encouragement of the progress, growth, or acceptance of something including advertising and publicity.

Ditto. As for the whooshing... come on people. Let's turn on our brains! :thumbsup:

I'm curious as to whether the people this is whooshing over are the sorts that use these same arguments when discussing the parallel topic. If they are, then the ironing is delicious. If they aren't, it's a little unfair to them.

I took the "whoosh" to mean they are one in the same. ;)

Of course, I could be wrong, but I don't think so.

What does ironing taste like? Surely it's a bit hot? :p

Your use of comparison speaks volumes for the condition of today's world.

I am puzzled why a man who threatens to burn the Quran, a book, gets refused entry to the UK but the Muslim in the Uk who publically burns a remembrance poppy gtes just a £50 fine, and threatens to burn effigies of William and Kate doesnt seem to get any actionm against them. Thats some imbalance.

Perhaps it's because a Muslim living in the UK, as a citizen presumably, has the same civil rights as everyone else there? Including free speech. Yeah, that thing self-proclaimed defenders of Western civilization like to use to bash Muslims. Terry Jones, on the other hand, is not a citizen of the UK, and has no rights whatsoever in the UK apart from what international law grants (and there is no article of international law allowing for free entry into any country you want).

Phenry, that is imbalance however which way you look at it. It is of note additionally that the police arrested two BNP members for burning a Qu'ran in their garage (on their own property) and I expect we will see further arrests like it as a reaction towards the pastor's burning. Do you think that was acceptable? And if so, do you think those who burned the poppies also should have had the same treatment?

They can become Muslims and be treated like any other Muslim.
There is nothing stopping them from being treated like the Muslims are except their own stubbornness to not change.
Why should they change their beliefs?
It is obvious why they should change their beliefs. To Christians living in an Islamic country, the truth of Islam can be clearly seen so Christians who refuse to convert are obviously without excuse—or so I’ve been told…
