At American Thinker:
Death sentence for Christian convert in Iran
Andrew G. BostomTwo Iranian Supreme Court justices have denied an appeal of Youcef Nadarkhani’s December 5, 2010 death sentence for the uniquely Islamic “crime” of apostasy. Islam stands alone amongst all modern faiths, adamantly denying its votaries freedom of conscience, as guaranteed, for example, by Article 18 of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (“Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance.”), and insisting upon lethal punishment for “public” apostates, in full accord with the Sharia.
Emphasis in the original. This is Islamic society. Not Christian, or Jewish, or Hindu,or even Satanist. This is unique in the world to Islam. It is rather hard to deny that this is Islamic.
