h'm
when you talk about islam being a religion of peace
what about 520,00-703,000 christians that live in Syria?
do you mean the very religious texts or the followers of the religion?
What about them Othman?
@quinnn The religious texts
What about the thousands of christians and jews that live in my country (Kuwait)?
What about them?
they aren't being prosecuted
Yes they are
mate my dad hired christian peope to do some construction work in our house
those christian construction workers have been living in kuwait for years
I meet and talk to christians almost everyday here in Kuwait
there are christian teachers in my school
"Article 2 of the Constitution of Kuwait states Islam is the state religion and that Sharia (Islamic Law) shall be a main source of legislation, and as a consequence proselytization of Muslims by non-Muslims is illegal."
proselytization: To attempt to convert someone to one's own religious faith.
that is the country's law mate
that has nothing to do with religion
the Kuwaiti people own the land of Kuwait so they can put their own laws.
it seems to me that you don't even understand what "Sharia law" is
If you are not allowed to convert people to other religions, what does that imply?
it's more of a lifestyle, more of a way of connecting to god, it's not much of a "law"
@Deleted User it implies that the law of the country does not allow people to convert others out of Islam
Yes, and because you are not allowed to convert others out of Islam, it implies that there is a country and a culture that does not want it's own people to convert from Islam
Therefore
yes, and what is wrong with that exactly?
Christians would naturally be seen as a threat
it's not that we see christians as a threat, it's that we know, not think, we know Islam is the right religion and it would be an un-wise decision to convert people out of it
There is nothing wrong with that, you just can't claim that christians are not persecuted against
now I personally disagree with that law
I think people should be allowed to proselytization to any religion.
I am a full supporter of free speech
but yes I can claim that christians are not persecuted against
because christians aren't being persecuted against
the one's that are being persecuted are the one's who commit proselytization
Okay, so you believe that people who try to convert others to Christianity/Judaism are being persecuted
But you don't believe that people who are Christians/Jewish themselves do not have persecution against them?
I'm not even talking about persecution in the lawful sense
