The joys of living under the Religion of Peace continue. I notice how all the population is under the thumbs of the clerics who keep the peons in line with fear of dying. I pity people unfortunate enough to be born in those regions of the world.
When will the Left see what conservatives see in Islam? We recognize that Islam is not tolerant or understanding about the way of life outside of the Arabian regions of the world. It is designed exclusively for the diverse Arab tribes and is not able to interact well with non-Arab populations. Sure, it has been brought around the world, say to Africa and Indonesia, but that was through conquest to tribes that then took on aspects of the victors. Look how well most of those areas are run. They are so Peaceful and Tolerant.
What is so Peaceful about a religion that demands such violence?

2 Afghans Translate Koran, Face Death PenaltyFriday, February 06, 2009
KABUL --
No one knows who brought the book to the mosque, or at least no one dares say. The pocket-size translation of the Koran has already landed six men in prison in Afghanistan and left two of them begging judges to spare their lives. They're accused of modifying the Koran and their fate could be decided Sunday in court.
The trial illustrates what critics call the undue influence of hardline clerics in Afghanistan, a major hurdle as the country tries to establish a lawful society amid war and militant violence.
The book appeared among gifts left for the cleric at a major Kabul mosque after Friday prayers in September 2007. It was a translation of the Koran into one of Afghanistan's languages, with a note giving permission to reprint the text as long as it was distributed for free.
Some of the men of the mosque said the book would be useful to Afghans who didn't know Arabic, so they took up a collection for printing. The mosque's cleric asked Ahmad Ghaws Zalmai, a longtime friend, to get the books printed.
But as some of the 1,000 copies made their way to conservative Muslim clerics in Kabul, whispers began, then an outcry.
Many clerics rejected the book because it did not include the original Arabic verses alongside the translation. It's a particularly sensitive detail for Muslims, who regard the Arabic Koran as words given directly by God. A translation is not considered a Koran itself, and a mistranslation could warp God's word.
