Doesn't Islamic countries such as Saudia Arabia, and Iran Punish, even kill their citizens for conversion to another religion and should we not punish all countries who do so though embargo, and isolation, as well as military action as a last result.

Well, it is illegal, under "international law," to deny freedom of religion. And, that's exactly what Canadians, Americans and British are doing in the Middle East- not just killing off terrorists but promoting a democratic society where civil rights actually exist.

their are some countries that are under international embargo and that seems to have no effect on the nation that is being " punished ". It has gotten out of control and the lack of response from the international community has allowed countries like Iran to emerge as the spokes person for the Muslim people. when the reality is that most Muslims don't want to live under religious rule. north Korea seems to care very little about international sanctions. the north Korean people are starving and their leadership is only interested in holding the world hostage.
the only military action that is worth while is a tactical nuclear strike. finish them off before they get stronger.

Yes, Islamic countries generally do not tolerate the practice of other religions, although there are a few exceptions. But international law is not generally obeyed by individual countries. And we would be setting a bad precedent if we tried to enforce it in other countries; especially as regards religion. There are certain aspects of international law that do not (and should not) apply to the US.

First of all most coutries dont sign to such laws and second of all the UN is no where powerful enough to go up against other countries. Anyway, UN is always trying to escape such situations by doing nothing.

Ha thats hilarious. International laws only partially applies inside a country.
Countries just make up their own laws and govern themselves. If it causes problems in relation to other countries. If they tried to kill a american for being a christian in their country that would be different.

International laws do not cover internal laws regarding religion. There are also no international laws that determine what can be considered a capitol crime within any nation.

International law does not address freedom of religion.

no, we can't decide other countries' government policies.
