Could you please quote pertinent parts from it? It's still blocked to non-subscribers. I just tried the same link and this time it was blocked for me too. Must have been some kind of glitch because I do not subscribe.Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison. Thoreau: Civil Disobedience (1846) I have never met a man so ignorant that I couldn't learn something from him. Galileo Galilei If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning. Frederick Douglass

Not trying to raise the insanity, but it is horrible. Damn, doesn't work. Can't fix it on the tablet. Works! The preview lied to me. Edited by JonF, : No reason given. Edited by JonF, : No reason given.

Yes it is horrible, thanks for posting this. I hear about these things through Christian sources, really sad how the West has allowed these things to go on without doing anything about it. The connection with the war in Iraq is sad, I still remember Bush's stupid "Islam is a religion of peace" remark. And Meriam Ibrahim is still holed up in the American embassy in Sudan. Sudan doesn't want to let her go, she's sort of an emblem of their right to impose Islam on everybody.

Sudan doesn't want to let her go, she's sort of an emblem of their right to impose Islam on everybody. The current persecution is primarily being instigated by her own family.

I thought it was mostly about her supposedly having forged documents.

Faith writes: "[t]he West has allowed these things to go on without doing anything about it" What would you propose "the West" do? Who is "the West?" Should "we" go to war with every predominantly Muslim nation? Should we take over their government? How would that go? Would that prevent terrorism or create more terrorism? Why aren't Christians from all hemispheres lining up to confront these demonic dictators instead of relying upon (and admonishing) "Western" leadership to do so? Is your god so weak that it must work through the most bureaucratic process possible? "You are metaphysicians. You can prove anything by metaphysics; and having done so, every metaphysician can prove every other metaphysician wrong--to his own satisfaction. You are anarchists in the realm of thought. And you are mad cosmos-makers. Each of you dwells in a cosmos of his own making, created out of his own fancies and desires. You do not know the real world in which you live, and your thinking has no place in the real world except in so far as it is phenomena of mental aberration." -The Iron Heel by Jack London "Hazards exist that are not marked" - some bar in Chelsea

Her family sued her. I hear that's been dropped.

Her family sued her. I hear that's been dropped. I read that the suit was dropped and reinstated again. The charges are in essence apostasy and the resulting shame to the family. Only in a theocracy...Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison.
