I have lived and worked among Muslims. I own a copy of the Koran and other books explaining their beliefs, as part of my job when I had to work with them. Therefore, from my personal experience, I have a lot of knowledge about them.

The moderate Muslim will usually give in to the radical ones and help with killing Christians, rather than be killed by the radicals.

I had two moderate Muslims dare to stand up for me when I quoted what Jesus said in the Bible, to answer a question a Muslim asked me about Christianity. A radical Muslim would have hurt me just for answering another person's question.

Christians and Jews believe in a God who loves people and wants people to love Him in return. Christians believe that is why God sent His Son Jesus to die on the cross — so people could live in Heaven with a perfect and loving God. Therefore, Christians have a goal of loving God and sharing that love to God by loving people, because God loves and values people. Since love is a choice and cannot be forced, Christians value human choice.

We all have a choice to love or not. True love is always voluntary and not forced, or else it isn't love but merely submission. True Christians will die to save people and their right to choose, out of their love for God.

Muslims believe in a distant God who is not particularly interested in them personally and only wants their obedience or submission. Their Koran teaches that when they convert the whole world to Muslims, Jesus will return to Earth and reign for 1,000 years. They believe they are rewarded in Heaven for killing, and for lying to accomplish this goal.

The Koran tells them to pretend to be friends with Christians, until they outnumber Christians, and then force them to convert to be Muslims or kill them. They have done this throughout history.

There is no freedom of choice in the Muslim religion, only submission. The mullahs have great power over the people. The men have great power over women.

Love, personal friendship and honesty are always less important than their goal of a world under Muslim control. Diplomacy can never work with people who believe that lying and killing are both godly to achieve their goal.

True democracy, which values personal choice, is also an impossible goal in Muslim countries.

The Mullahs won't give up their religious tyranny over the people. They believe they are right to force submission.

There have been many killed in Muslim countries for converting to Christianity. In one country, five men decided to convert to Christianity and other Muslims killed all five, leaving their wives and children destitute. This was done as a warning to others not to convert.

What happened to Rahman in Afghanistan for converting 16 years ago is not an unusual incident, but this time it got publicized.
