The Islamic police in Jordan have arrested 8 Christians for the horrendous crime of propagating the Christians faith. This is how Islamic countries keep their citizens in bondage to Islam. The government outlaws conversion from Islam, as well as proselytism among Muslims. Religious freedom? Forget about it.
Muslims work hard to convince Americans how wonderful Islam is, right? Well, simple ask them very politely to provide you one example of an Islamic country that is the role model for Islam where freedom of religion is the norm. There isn't one. The truth about Islam can be found in studying Islamic countries, especially its country of origin - Saudi Arabia. All the rhetoric from Muslims in America who are freely propagating their religion without persecution can't hide this fact. Islam is as Islam does.
Americans need to speak up more often in interfaith forums and letters-to-the-editors how Islamic countries treat Christians.
Eight people have been arrested in Jordan for propagating the Christian faith, according to a Saudi newspaper.
Jordanian security forces arrested eight people, mostly foreigners, after they were caught distributing missionary material to Bedouin families north and east of the Jordanian capital, Amman, the Saudi daily Al-Watan reported.
The authorities received information about the missionaries from local residents who said these foreigners were offering humanitarian assistance to poor Muslim families and distributing fliers promoting Christianity.
Sources said they were "enticing" impoverished youngsters by paying them money and calling on them to marry foreign girls.
Islam is the state religion in Jordan, though christianity is a recognized religion in the country.
Evangelism is a practice frowned upon in the Muslim world, and often associated with Western imperialism.
