[I could be mistaken, but I don't think that any Muslim countries, even those with sharia laws, require one to be a Muslim, nor to pray at all, let alone a specified number of times per day.]

Man are you ever blind.. That comment is a personal insult to all who have died because of sharia laws.. Reading the bible is punishable by execution alone..

Christians are nearly extinct because of them. They are moving out of the middle east(which by the way is originally their land). So not only do christians have persecution from the Jews in Israel, but they have it from the Muslims from the other side..

Seriously, don't bring up something you know absolutly nothing about..

"Everything he said is factually wrong."
Not by a long shot. Of course, being fundie-religious, involves believing that their God overrides all land deeds (so therefore the middle east is in fact land belonging to christians, those muslims that are squatting there should be evicted, haha). And the bit about Christians going extinct is kind of comical. But if you think it's 100% factually wrong, try to go Iran or Saudi Arabia and show them your bible when you go through customs. Let me know how you make out.

Maybe people who actually live on those countries can post here and tell us what it's like, so we can get some first-hand information.

The 'fundie' is in fact mostly true about this and many of the commentators are in fact not. The 'Exodus' of Christians has been going on long before bush, since the 1800's when parts of Islam became Radicalized. Most countries with Sh'ria law don't dictate that you cannot read the bible (though recent violence in the more fundemental stats does demonstrate that reading it is not exactly safe, as is selling it), rather you can be punished for preaching to muslims or converting from Islam to any other religion.

This is where people end of getting killed. Otherwas Sh'ria principles tend to allow non-muslims to exist - save for the really bad places.

[citation needed]. Besides, praying and reading the Bible is permitted in Saudi Arabia- but only in the ex-patriate compounds there. The Coptic Church in Egypt is possibly the oldest established pre-Holy Roman church, and which still exists to this day. There are Christian churches in Iraq, Oman (Anglican ones; one of the benefits of the long-time alliance between the UK and Oman), UAE, and even Iran:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity_in_Iran

'Christians of Iran have played a significant part in the history of Christian mission. Today, there are at least 600 churches in Iran.'

There are Persian Jews - and synagogues - in Iran. Ayatollah Khomeni issued a Fatwa, soon after the Islamic Revolution, that meant said Jews were not to be persecuted in any way.

Have I blown your mind, Renton405?

"Christians are nearly extinct because of them. They are moving out of the middle east(which by the way is originally their land). So not only do christians have persecution from the Jews in Israel, but they have it from the Muslims from the other side.."

Persecution Complex much? The above facts prove otherwise.

"Seriously, don't bring up something you know absolutly nothing about.."

The mirror in the Hubble Space Telescope is like that type used by dentists but dirty & cracked, compared to yours, Renton405. It certainly reflects your own hyper-ignorance.

"Sorry KaylaKaze but even the other christians on the original site told him to shut up. Everything he said is factually wrong. "

Factually, not everything he said is wrong. And most of my comment was about the "the Koran speaks well of those other two religions" comment. <<

As always when this comes up, I quote the idea of Ahl al-Kitab: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People_of_the_Book . As noted, the only penalty for being a dhimmi in an Islamic state historically has been a slightly tax rate, and even that is being phased out in most countries.

Renton is entirely incorrect, except perhaps on the Christian population of the Middle East decreasing. But even on that one the numbers are ambiguous depending on which census figures I look up.
