"My colleague has said that he never offends other people's beliefs. What civilization on the face of this earth allows him to call other people by names that they did not choose for themselves? Once, he calls them Ahl Al-Dhimma, another time he calls them the "People of the Book," and yet another time he compares them to apes and pigs, or he calls the Christians "those who incur Allah's wrath." Who told you that they are "People of the Book"? They are not the People of the Book, they are people of many books. All the useful scientific books that you have today are theirs, the fruit of their free and creative thinking. What gives you the right to call them "those who incur Allah's wrath," or "those who have gone astray," and then come here and say that your religion commands you to refrain from offending the beliefs of others?"

Do you think that Wafa Sultan has a point?

"I am not impressed with the copy and paste story. Your faith has labeled entire people savages, primitives, sub-humans, heretics, etc... to justify its abuses of them. "
you might find these teachings in church history, but not in the Bible itself.
Besides I think you will find that a Muslim fares much better in a western country than a Christian in a Muslim country.
Because you have the right to come here and demand that we be politically correct.
But there is no such freedom in Saudi Arabia. Is there?

Deists also considered Kafirs in Islam.
This wasn't my quote it was a woman named Wafa Sultan and she had good points.

You hate Islam because you have been taught to, I get that. Why don't you try understanding that you don't have all the answers and try and learn new things? You might just be surprise that the shadows on the wall that you have thought were real were just projections from the light shining behind you, out of your field of vision.
I am not impressed with the copy and paste story. Your faith has labeled entire people savages, primitives, sub-humans, heretics, etc... to justify its abuses of them.
Our freedom is not due to Christians it is due to Deists and free thinkers. Research the beliefs of our founding fathers before you try and claim credit for your religion.

This is the third time you've cut and pasted this paragraph.
What's your question?
