- This is outrageous. Where did you get the idea that Christaians are persecuted
- in Islamic countries . To your information one of the basics of Islam is
- believing in Moses and Jesus and their holy books i.e. we as Muslims believe
- in the same God of Moses and Jesus. The rights of people of the book (Jews
- and Christians) are totally protected by the laws of Islam . In fact I have
- many friends here in Egypt and abroad who are Christians. Your message is
- another example of people writing on impulse without knowledge of what they
- are blabbering about.
- Please read about relegions before you start talking about them.Also don't
- mix between relegion and politics .
