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

they aren't forcing anyone to live here, if you want to proselytization go to another country

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

I am talking in the cultural sense

Cause it is pretty obvious that middle eastern muslims do not have positive attitudes towards religious minorities
