you got that right
Just so you know I copied and pasted this from someone else’s post because I thought it too well stated.
Koran-Sura 5:51 “O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.”
A bit excessive just for telling it like it is!
Islam is an insult to the entire world.
He should get a medal.
This is B.S. To be “Flogged”for disrespecting Islam is totally unreasonable.
It is so wrong.
nobel peace prize for this man
There is no word in English to describe just how stupid the penalty was and for what reason…..mankind has truly evolved into geldings.
