She said it was an irony that Islamic nations which considered conversion a crime also vowed, as UN members, to uphold the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which "cleary affirm and protect" the freedom to change religions or beliefs.
There's nothing ironic about it. Muslims believe, even teach their young, that it is ok to say one thing to us infidels and the opposite to Muslims. In short, it's ok to lie because we are infidels and inferior to Muslims.
In addition to imposing criminal penalties, some Islamic states are accused of denying civil rights to those considered apostates, including dissolution of marriages, interference with child custody, inheritance and property decisions, as well as difficulties in obtaining crucial identity documents.
These denial of human rights are not just limited to apostates, they are denied to anyone who is not a Muslim. Just as the Christians in Saudi Arabia or indeed, in any Muslim country.
As I've said before, the Left have nowhere to hide on the Rahman case. His was a case of religious persecution, clear and simple. The Muhammad cartoons were too as far as I'm concerned but the Left tried to wriggle out by claiming Muslim sensetivity. They couldn't do that in the Rahman case. But still they remain silent. Just as they do about Muslim persecution of all other religions, gays and abuse of women.
Some on the Left are starting to speak out against the unholy alliance between the Left and Islam. But is it to little too late?
