Islamic law proposal would hurt all religions

Islamic law proposal would hurt all religions

All across the Muslim world, stretching from northern Africa through the Middle East to Indonesia, Christians are treated as second-class citizens and subjected to a barbaric Sharia law. They are persecuted and murdered for their faith while their churches and homes are torched and destroyed. In an attempt to go worldwide with their persecution of Christians, the Organization of the Islamic Conference, through the United Nations, is proposing a defamation of religions resolution that would outlaw any criticism of Islam and forbid any proclamation of the Gospel.

Christians can only hope that things will improve when these so-called democratic revolutions have run their course. However, it goes without saying that a true representative democracy cannot be established without freedom of religion and freedom of speech.

God forbid that these revolutions end up like the Iranian revolution where the ayatollah and his henchmen installed a theocracy that terrorizes and threatens to take us back to the stone age.

It has been said, “The most dangerous organization in the history of man has been those that inculcate the different aspects of religious, political and civic life under one banner.”
