Algerian Prosecutor: Jail Christian Converts

Islam hates everyone, other than Muslims (if you ask me, Allah even hates his own follower - why else would he ask them to sacrifice their own children in suicide bombings?).

For instance, in many Muslim countries people are persecuted, jailed, and even killed for being Christians.

For being Christians!

From Eye on the World:


According to the Algerian law, you must have an official permission to practice religion other than Islam. Nice, huh?

Tiaret (News24) - An Algerian prosecutor called on Tuesday for two-year jail sentences and fines of 500 000 dinars (about R62 000) for six Christian converts in the mainly Muslim north African country.

The six youths are accused of practising a non-Muslim religion without official permission, subject to a law passed in February 2006 requiring non-Muslim congregations to seek permits from regional authorities.

The change in the law - Algeria formerly guaranteed freedom of religious expression, with around one million Catholics in the country prior to independence from France in 1962 - requires both the place of worship and the preacher to be registered.

The court in the southwestern town of Tiaret also heard a separate case in which a 37-year-old female convert, Habiba Kouider, is charged with preaching a non-Muslim religion without official permission.

We need to stop being politically correct and stand up for freedom of conscious everywhere.
