So you aren't afraid for others who get death threats from other groups.
Just the Muslims.
OK.
I'm afraid for the woman in the OP.

Riiiight. Yeah, our media wouldn't want to jump on the opportunity to scare us, would they?
So are we now using "probable" honor killings as evidence of the growing Muslim threat in America?
I'd say the world has serious issues, one of which is extreme fundamental Islamic theocracy in some Middle Eastern countries.
I bet if you knew any Muslims you wouldn't be afraid of them even if you were either of those people.
You need to quit reading blogs by Michael Savage wannabes and actually talk to people.
The most sexually repressed societies often have the largest instances of sexual deviation...religions shout down a woman's right to expression, while expecting her to be a nurterer and giver to the family. It's mind-boggling. Sometimes I wish there was no oil in the Middle East at all, then we wouldn't have to deal with societies that so readily demonize women and the female form.
That's odd. Earlier in this thread you said you weren't.
Irrational behavior falls apart under the lightest scrutiny.
Islam is a huge problem if it is practiced in a way that promotes intolerance of Culture and people that are not Muslim.
That holds true for any religion.
Islam is especially a problem because of an overwhelming majority of believers that literally believe in handing out 1400 year old punishments for 21st century actions.
Let me be clear. I think this woman is in danger. Does that thought make me, personally, afraid? No. If I conveyed that, I misspoke.
What irrational behavior?
Presumably any old religion that has remained faithful to scripture is liable to the criticism that it is insufficiently progressive and up to date. Far from being a weakness, that may be counted as one of the main strengths of religious belief -- being focused resolutely on spiritual values that do not change.Islam is especially a problem because of an overwhelming majority of believers that literally believe in handing out 1400 year old punishments for 21st century actions.
Also, not everything that is modern and up to date is axiomatically superior to what it has replaced or is desirable in itself merely for being au courant.
That said, I doubt Islam is quantifiably more primitive than any other religion of comparable antiquity.
That's wonderful! Especially if it makes it easier to thwart gender equality and tolerance of other cultures!!
What strikes me as so STUPID here on the part of many apologists for ISLAM is that often these same people are the ones who jump on ANY christian based movement like say... Creation in school books etc.
You don't need old time religion for that, but sure, it can help. There are downsides to traditional belief, too. Are you allergic to complexity?That's wonderful! Especially if it makes it easier to thwart gender equality and tolerance of other cultures!!
Like who? I'm not one of those people.
maybe she wants to be a martyr. this could be an invitation.
I'm allergic to religious intolerance and the lack of freedom to believe as one wishes whether that god be green, blue, one of many, or non existent.
Islam is especially bad in this aspect considering... if you are born Muslim... you cannot leave. It's like the mob... the only way out is death...
If you convert to another religion other Muslims are legally allowed to kill you under Sharia!!!!
How often does this happen and how widespread is the practice? That you crapped your pants is not evidence of something scary.Islam is especially bad in this aspect considering... if you are born Muslim... you cannot leave. It's like the mob... the only way out is death...

You're not going to find many of those people who would tell you they're okay with Islamic Creationism being taught in science class either.
More Muslims in the middle east need to speak out like she did. Call those bags out.
Crapped my pants?
LoL...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostasy_in_Islam
How many apostates went to the blade? If killing them all is the current practice, you should have no problem quantifying it.
It's hard to quantify. There aren't stats. You google executions for apostasy and you just get tons of articles about individual examples...
There is no reason for me to have to defend the FREQUENCY or INFREQUENCY of its use...
The fact that it is an offense punishable by death is enough.
Under Levitical law all sorts of things (idolatry, adultery, sexuality e.g.)are punishable by death. Harsh scriptural sanctions are hardly peculiar to Islam.
